I've learnt that nefarious vendors could easily read which lottery thickets are winners via phase-contrast tomography, purchasing them for themselves, and selling only the losing or lower-winning ones.

Hey, it's better than it used to be. In the 80's, I could do it with a strong flashlight.

I've learned the difference between learnt and learned. Learnt = past tense. Learned = past perfect.

I guess if you want to be grammar and language purist it is good information. But I was under the impression that these words have identical meaning. And there is no 'times' difference between them really.

I am also under the impression that they are alternative forms for the past tense and past perfect of the verb "learn" - as the users in the link fearlesscat10 provided go on to state, "learnt" seems to be the form most common outside North America, and "learned" the most common within. So, I believe it is correct to say either "today I have learned" or "today I have learnt", for example.

For reference: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/words/learnt-vs-learned.

Possibly, akin to the word 'whilst', with it and 'learnt' used by others, like myself, to simply be cute (another word we could cutely dissect). Either way, I've learneth something today.

Wow, I started a conversation. Cheesy It was just something I was never sure of, so I got curious. I was also under the assumption that they were interchangeable. But to each their own.

Today I've learned that, when petting birds you should stick to the head - petting the chest or the back may be interpreted by them as a form of sexual stimulation. Cheesy

NSFW ~ I've learnt I've been doing it all wrong! https://twitter.com/Charge/status/549026921326325760 ~ NSFW

That guy has really good Instagram and Twitter handles... I'm jealous.

Like, WTF! I just noticed that: Charge for Twitter and Captain for Instagram. That would indicate a very early adapter.
