no, that was unintentional. But if you really like my mistakes as a non-native speaker you can print them out, stick them to the bedroom wall and masturbate to them to fuel your superiority; i aim to please.
Edit: I looked it up, it’s correct. You can still use it as a masturbatory template if you wish so.
“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
“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.

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.
