My friend, you are wrong. There is a whole world outside of the USA that spells things differently. It’s nice out there (mostly).
I learnt something new today.

You are right sir. I stand corrected. I spoke before I looked the word up. I had been previously told it was incorrect.

Lol OK @RuknRole but if Hulk Hogan is your role model for literacy, then I know where we stand.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, 54% of adults in the United States have prose literacy below the 6th-grade level."

Use of the word “learned” has absolutely nothing to do with literacy. But whatever floats the dinghy.

In this thread, we’ve learned that learnt can be learned, and that America can be summed up with girls in bathing suits eating burgers in the beds of raised pickups painted with an American flag motif on an aircraft carrier under the Statue of Liberty surrounded by fireworks and jet aircraft maneuvers.

Is it weird that after I typed that I wanted to add a Barnes & Barnes style, “yeah!” after it?
Like… “Roly poly fish heads are never seen drinking cappuccino in Italian restaurants with Oriental women, yeah!”
But… “America can be summed up with girls in bathing suits eating burgers in the beds of raised pickups painted with an American flag motif on an aircraft carrier under the Statue of Liberty surrounded by fireworks and jet aircraft maneuvers, yeah!”

I also insist on using the contraction “amn’t” whenever I can 
I fancy using the term horse hockey whenever it applies.
