I've Learned (learnt) That...

First off; the differences between Learnt and Learned.

"Learnt belongs to irregular verbs in British English, though I'd like to add that they were not considered irregular maybe 4 hundred years ago. Just the rule that existed at that time that let the language to have "learnt, spent, swept, meant, ..." is lost now, no longer exist. And this made them irregular. Languages usually tend to get rid of the irregularities at some point of time (however, at that time there always be new irregularities to be born), that's why we have the alternative "learned" in American English. I don't know about the acceptance of "learnt" in US written English, probably it's not. But phonetically, it's easier for a "d" sound to be replaced by "t" than the opposite way. So I guess you can hear "learnt" in American spoken English as well. Who knows, maybe because of the same simplicity rule, that languages tend to develop towards simpleness (that is not always true), we''l have all "d"s to be changed to "t"s in next 3 centuries! It is possible!" (Found this explanation here)


Secondly I found this list randomly online and after the week I've had it was really helpful despite its pseudo corny-ness.

• you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
• no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
• it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
• it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.
• you can do something in an instant that will give you a heartache for life.
• no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides.
• you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
• we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
• there are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it.
• true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
• just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
• maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
• no matter how good a friend someone is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
• no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
• just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
• we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
• you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
• there are many ways of falling and staying in love.
• no matter how many friends you have, if you are their pillar, you will feel lonely and lost at the times you need them most.
• the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon.
• although the word "love" can have many different meanings, it loses value when overly used.
• love is not for me to keep, but to pass on to the next person I see.
• every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch-holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
• I still have a lot to learn.

I found this list here but i modified it a bit (took out some repeats).
