I learnt if i stand up very quickly with the cat on my knee, she doesn't appreciate it

I lurnt that the cheese I got from Tesco's cause it 'sounded nice' wasn't nice at all.
I lurnt that the watch I currently have and which is a bit bust, I can get for only £10 ish, from a different company to the one that was doing it for £20ish when I got it
I Remembered the leason I lurnt a long while ago, that you can never have enough beer in the house.
I discovered I don't have quite enough pairs of socks, and that a sizible number of my pants ought to be thrown out and replaced...

I've also just learnt that i'm not ure whether learnt is spelt like that or learned

I learned? It has been learnt? Erm...maybe Ill ask my very correct mother.

I learned how NOT to use my answer machine.
I learned not to turn small children upside down until at least fifteen minutes after food.
I learned not to bug girlfriends too much if they are sorely depressed.

I believe that 'learnt' is the English (UK) spelling of the past participle of 'to learn'; whereas 'learned', whilst pronounced in roughly the same way is the English (American) way of spelling it. I learnt that today.

I learnt that learnt is the correct way to spell the word 'learnt'.

I also learnt that my Canadian relatives have already been to Ireland and are now on their way to see someone called Pauline who is related to me in some* way

Ilearnt that it is jolly hard to push a scrummage machine for a mile.

Whats a scrummage machine? Is that one of those sort of metal things that people lean against and you run against them?

I learnt that typing is much harder when you're reasonably manic and drunk at the same time

What I lurnt yesterday, unfortunately, was that a taxi back from Kings Cross London to Cambridge, costs £120.

In fact there are a few verbs with two past tense forms, either irregular or regular:

learnt/learned
dreamt/dreamed
lit/lighted
spoilt/spoiled

They aren't to do with one being either American or British forms, they are just like that. English is a funny old thing.

What I learnt today is that I love my cat so much I am willing to have her undergo surgery that might kill her.
