In reply to the discussion: Jake Tapper clashes with House Dem in heated exchange: 'May not be a big deal for you!' [View all]jfz9580m
(16,010 posts)47. Apparently it is British
        A fun fact I just learnt (!) thanks to the query.
https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/4965/when-do-you-use-learnt-and-when-learned#4966
Merriam-Webster marks learnt as "chiefly British", and Wiktionary as "UK", adding that learned is the "Standard US English spelling". Quoting a linguist's comment from elsewhere,
[The Corpus of Historical American English] shows that learned has always been more common than learnt in American English. At least, since 1810.
So it's not like learnt is completely unheard of in Americal English, but learned has always been more popular, and according to the COHA timetable, the usage of learnt has been on a more or less steady decline since 1820.

Between ignorance over who Jake Tapper is and learnt versus learned imagine if the world could see my actual failures in my field
 . ;-/ Oh well..

Well Jake Tapper is worse so there..seriously that thing of his is possibly the worst article I have ever read. I can see why he is a Trump apologist. The man seems like an absolute ass. He is the buffer between many of us who are mediocre and not proudly while not getting away with it.

        If Tapper is so opposed to a short term solution he should put pressure on the Republicans.
