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

Start your own forum and you can decide who stays and who YOU get to delete.

Isn't learnt right, too? The sictionary says so. I know they overblew the issue, but check the dictionary, and ignore small miatakes like this.

Actually they're both correct. It really depends on which sounds better. For example "I just learnt not to correct grammar" sounds right, as does "I've just learned to" In the second case, leant to sounds too forced because of the double T

That unfortunately depends on your accent - if your 't's aren't very forceful, particularly at the ends of words "i just learnt to drive" sounds fine, but "i just learned to drive" is extra effort and sounds silly.
