I don't really care, but since you asked: "learnings" grates my ears because it sounds wrong. I never used to hear people say it, and as GP points out, we already had the perfectly good word "lessons".
"Learnings" to me sounds like a mistake a non-native English speaker would make, perhaps by incorrectly extrapolating from the word "teachings". It's a forgivable mistake, but I don't see why we need to adopt it into the native vernacular.
(Yeah, yeah, I know, language evolves, prescriptive versus descriptive etc.. In a world where "literally" no longer means literally, I'm not going to waste much time getting angry about "learnings".)
