This is a ridiculous, arbitrary judgment that has nothing to do with anything even remotely related to this post. This type of pedantry is low-brow and annoying

- ahmedfromtunis 3y agoThe fact that it is tangentially related to the post doesn't make it any less valuable. As a non-native speaker I find this discussion as interesting as the original post. I like to hear native speakers give their "opinions" on all matters language as it lightens some dark alleys of the language that are otherwise inaccessible. Today's lesson: "it needs repaired" is equally puzzling for some native speakers as it seems to be a regional thing :) Also: yinzers.
- ryanklee 3y agoIt's an incorrect judgement that's entirely ignorant of the entire field of linguistics. People should have fewer opinions of this type as they are founded on very wrong ideas of how language works. In short, it is not valuable at all in any context.
- aerhardt 3y agoIt's also plainly wrong, because "learnings" is perfectly commonplace.
