It sounds stupid, but it was the same thing for me. Vocabulary like LEARNED instead of LEARNT? Not this again! For the last time, the copy and paste from 'AskOxford'... "'Learnt' is more common in British English, and 'Learned' in American English. There are a number of verbs of this type (burn, dream, kneel, lean, leap, spell, spill, spoil etc.). They are all irregular verbs, and this is a part of their irregularity."

I learned that some people can be petty, overgrown children with a high school clique-ish mindset even past the age of 35.

Well, we do say burnt and burned over here in America. Thanks for this though Bobeddy. If this is true, it'll will cut down on how annoyed I get when I read it. Though, I hate the word so much that the evil in me will never allow me to completely accept it.
