You poor sod, Jasper. Haven't you got anything to contribute to OLO other than this?

Get a proper dictionary.

For the rest; Pericles' post will do nicely

Pericles, who let you out of your box? If you’d been paying attention, you would have noticed that Ginx started this with her post of 1st September, ‘I KNOW you have learned (learned!!) gibberish by necessity’ She stooped to the gutter level of trying to find spelling mistakes (even when they were non-existent).

You wrote, ‘JSP1488, in your attempt to appear learned, you have made a bit of an ass of yourself.
Fowler, who is the absolute arbiter on such issues, has an entire section devoted to -T and -ED endings, and is absolutely fine with the use of either learnt or learned. As in "have you learned nothing from all this?" being just as valid as "have you learnt nothing from all this?"
He elaborates as follows:
"At present the -ed forms still prevail in print over those in -t in most of our list. It should be pointed out that, if the past tense were distinguished from the past participle, the preponderance of -ed for it would be slightly greater. The figures are arrived at by counting the occurrences in all OED quotations of the 19th and 20th centuries.
So if you are going to pick a fight on trivia, it is probably better to check your facts first’.

So what you are stating is that both forms can be right. I agree that the matter is trivial but all I did was reply to the pathetic little minx. BTW, your post, as above, devotes a lot more to the trivia than I did. Makes you wonder who the ass is.

Ginx, ‘Haven't you got anything to contribute to OLO other than this?’ As I already stated above, this started with your post, or have you forgotten? As for ‘Get a proper dictionary’, isn’t the Concise Oxford good enough? What are you using? Wikipedia?

Poor wee daft Ginx.

PS, as the learnt/learned saga is trivial, maybe it would be a good idea to return to the main thread. I couldn’t give a toss about how you want to spell it. Over not out.

No, JSP1488 - you 'started it' with an idiotic comment to the effect that multiculturalism brought about the end of the Roman Empire.

The quality of your contributions to the thread went downhill from there.

It's difficult trying to get through to the little twot isn't it?

(Psssssst! Jasper, learnt/learned/learnéd ain't got nuffin' to do with it has it? You've got yourself all obsessed with having a shot at me. I reciprocate. No big deal. You get more and more sidetracked in an endeavour to 'beat me'. You won't. Give it up old son, obsession is very unhealthy.)

The third stooge returns: Welcome back CJ Morgan. With, "you 'started it' with an idiotic comment to the effect that multiculturalism brought about the end of the Roman Empire." you confirmed your status as cretin of cretins. Which part of my previous post, where I outlined the learnt/learning saga and how Ginx had started it, didn't you understand? You couldn't grasp that and referred to my original post of 10th August where you thought that I wrote 'multiculturalism brought about the end of the Roman Empire' To digress back to that, if you read my first post again, you would see that I wrote 'It helped destroy the Roman Empire'. To make it clear for someone of your brain-damaged state, multi-culti was one factor in Rome's downfall.
Try and follow the current 'arguments' if you feel compelled to make a stupid little comment.

Poor wee Ginx, it's all a bit over your head isn't it? You can't even remember how it actually started (or who did it). My previous to you suggested dropping such a trivial 'argument'. I don't see the point of it. Try and forget it and I'll forget that you spelt, oops I meant spelled, twat as twot. As for trying to beat you, what is that all about? Don't you want me to reply to your meanderings?

Silly wee Ginx.
