Learnt something...
Today Leon asked me: "Does 'hers' have an apostrophe when something belongs to her?". I did not know. I asked the other members of my team. Opinion was divided. Leon looked up the "Apostrophe Protection Society" and discovered that, no, hers does not need an apostrophe (like ours or yours)

Or indeed, his!
I don't think that "learnt" is a word. My Deputy Head said that it wasn't.
You're probably right, I think it aught to be "learned"...
Learnt is a word. Learned is fine too I think.
Leraxed isn't a word though!
leraxed came up 25 times on google. Although some are clearly by people with worse typing than mine. Actually how's this for bad english "The figure in the shadowy corner leraxed, opened a bottle and taked along drink. He decided to wach how things got on. He wered followed acts of this weard" think some of these sites are oriental and the usual r and l thing.
But there did seem to be some dutch sites, so just possibly it is a word.
