Today, I corrected someone who spelled "learned" as "learnt" on my favorite forum. Nothing could've prepared me for the torrent of abuse that followed from the non-American members. Now I'm banned for "trolling," and all my 7,000+ posts since 2006 are gone forever. FML

I'd imagine the majority of those are gone anyway with the way they purge the old FMLs.

First of all, don't judge whom you don't know. Second of all, she has one. It was on sale at Target.

They are both correct words, learned is past tense while learnt refers to past tense in the perfect tense. Derp.

Well, people like you that post comments like that just to get "upvotes" do get annoying. Probably a little harsh though.

Were your posts in this online forum so interesting and important that deleting them will change the course of history? I doubt anyone in that forum will even notice the difference.
