That is a proper spelling. Learnt, burnt and ruint all rhyme to some of us.
Parts of the country are closer to the mother tongue than others.
They said there were sweaty sheets in the apt.
I continue to believe the most virulent vector of Ebola is the overzealous placement of ones joystick while their brain is disengaged.
He got the “Come to America” memo. “Obamacare will take care of you.”

I would suggest the word learn’t is an archaic pronunciation of the word learned.
It is spoken by the old country folk of scottish heritage around here, East Tennessee and especially south west Virginia. It is seldom heard now.
“I learn’t to wash my hands before eating”
Archaic, perhaps, in the sense that it's loyal to original Mother Tongue, but not archaic if you mean learnt is no longer an appropriate past tense or past participle of the verb learn.
The Oxford English Dictionary - the OED - doesn't say learnt is archaic, it says it's 'chiefly British.'
Again, that's the OED, the definitive dictionary of the English language, all 20 volumes and and 21,728 pages of it.
Victimized? Strange choice of words.
well ok, I just think it is irritating, learnt burnt etc but I understand
