“Less common” is not the same as “wrong”, and it’s doubly not the same as “wrong” when it actually just means “normal in other dialects of the language”
It’s considered informal, and in some dialects (mine included) unusual. The Grammarly link you edited into your first comment doesn’t even support a classification of “learnt” as informal, it literally just describes it as a dialect difference. You’re doing the same thing as telling a Brit that they’re spelling the word incorrectly if they write “colour”
I think I’ve been quite clear in repeatedly saying that “learnt” was not wrong to use in the context that it was used in there. You’ve so far ignored that:
The Grammarly source that you linked yourself does not say that “learnt” is wrong
The dictionary.com page that the other person linked does not say that “learnt” is wrong
A word being the less common form doesn’t mean it’s wrong
I haven’t ignored anything but if you are going to be an asshole then I am going to ignore you.
Please look at the link again and pay attention to the difference in regional dialects. I would have been happy to learn that it was accepted in other places but instead I’ve been told to masturbate, and had two other people be a fucking asshole to me. Only one person has been simply informative and I looked it up further. Until you can emulate them kindly fuck off.
“More commonly used” doesn’t mean that the other is incorrect, as your comment implies. Also, it’s only more common in the US, and we can’t tell where the person is from by his initial comment.
I’m from the EU and originally learnt (haha) UK English, but since i’m a net citizen, some americanisms have found their way into my vocabulary - understandable when taking US exceptionalism into account.
From your own link…
But I guess reading would get in the way of being a pervert.

Ain’t is in the dictionary, it’s still considered incorrect.

I think you are confusing informal and irregular in this case.
I’m not, but “irregular” does not mean “wrong” either. Heaps of English words have irregular forms. “Built” is one of them.
Yes which is why we say that and not builded. I’m not sure what your point is.

Pretty sure that ain’t right.
