Why do people use "learned" instead of "learnt"?

[Dedesjusz]

"Learnt" is the proper way to say that you learnt something, there is no such word as "learned"...

Why do people use color instead of colour

No, this is still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

You can absolutely say something incorrectly, and this can directly lead to miscommunication.

Oh, you said "learned"? I thought you said "learnt". That makes thing so much different!

I would have said "they learnt they were learned". But in that case I'd also say it 'learn - ed' instead of one syllable. A learn-ed person has learned many things.

Because they don't really have a use that applies one to the other in any context. Other than regional. Once you have learned you have learnt, you are then learnt, the learned are have learnt.

That is a good question though. why don't they consider both color and colour correct since both are English? Most likely because it would be too confusing since technically they count as two separate languages. Also if you were taught American English why would you be spelling it the British English way other than by coincidence?

All I know is the French are screwed up, since they use almost every vowel except O to represent the "O" sound, plus throw in an "X" because why not? Fk it!

English O = "O"

Russian O = "O"

Japanese O = "O"

French EAUX = "O"

Are they completely daft?

What's it matter? Majority of people don't even know how to use a semicolon; it's not rocket appliances.

Once you learnt to talk English good, can't no one change it.

[DarthSidious666]

It depends on the context.

for example:

"I knew a learned man" (is actually pronounced as learn-ed)
"I had learnt a new skill."
"I learned how to do..." (which can also use learnt as well)

So I believe it's more likely a grammer issue, rather than spelling.

The use of the American spelling for favor and color does irk me but that's because American is actually a branch of British English spelling due to how Old English was spelt with no Dictionaries to standardise it.

(Yeah, I probably used some American spellings in that because I can never remember if English uses z or s).

It's evolution not corruption.

If you like. Corruption implies that the original was / is purer.
