Here are five things we’ve learnt so far in the coronavirus pandemic.
1. Clarity
That you can spell ‘learnt’ as ‘learned’ or ‘learnt’… Ok, strictly speaking this one doesn’t really count, but having written the word I was then stricken with doubt about how to spell it. And apparently both are fine. It seems the ‘t’ ending used to be more common, but apparently verbs ‘become more regular over time’ says a ‘spelling expert’ online – so more and more people write ‘learned’ it seems. Like ‘spelt’ and ‘spelled’ apparently.
So now you know!
