I Value Proper Grammar

[b][u]Look who´s talking...
[/u][/b]

I just wrote a post in which I used the word "learnt" and some Texchick wrote to me saying it was "learned" not "learnt"...

I replied English isn´t my native language, we are taught it goes both ways (simply because Americans themselves use them both ways, not us) but the best thing was she wrote "just sayin"...

So I said..."by the way, it´s "saying", not "sayin"...lol...

And I added I´d never call myself "chik"...quite rude and diminishing.

Americans are the ones who use "nite" instead of "night"..."color" instead of "colour"...and so on.

We learn academically, so I don´t think she had the right to said what she did...

Just "sayin"...lol...

Learnt is more common in British English, which is what we studied (English isn't my native language as well). I sometimes alternate between the two myself, haha.
