> We need to solve this, and "learnings". What is "learnings"?

• defrost 2y ago
  A pluralization once popular in 14th Century Middle English that died out until ressurected in central north American business English. In 2016 Grammarist was to the point. "Learnings is a pluralization of an erroneous form of learning as a singular noun. Said singular noun (e.g., a learning) does not exist, at least according to most dictionaries. Colloquially, especially in the medical field, learnings means specific items that were newly discovered or learned." https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-plural-form-of-learning-Is-it-learnings https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-plural-form-of-learning-Is... they're since softened that stance and now discuss how it is poorly used. https://grammarist.com/usage/learnings/ https://grammarist.com/usage/learnings/

  The word invented/resurrected, for some reason, to replace the word "lessons".
