OFFTOPIC: "Today, I want to share some recent learnings from performance tuning this new application stack."
The word you want is "lessons".
Jeez, not only is your comment offtopic and pedantic, it's also wrong.
- swasheck 12y ago"it's also wrong." I believe the word you want is "incorrect." /sarcasm
- gadders 12y agoI flagged it as Offtopic. But it is correct. "Learnings" is at best a pointless affectation, like saying "utilised" instead of "used". At worst, according to the OED, it's not even a word. http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/19227/plural-of-learning http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/19227/plural-of-l... Also: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/learning http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/learning No plural option.
- cdelsolar 12y agoI play tournament Scrabble and learnings is a valid word in it.
- Scramblejams 12y agoContinuing the OT and heedless of the downvotes: I appreciate your efforts, but they can't help themselves -- so many people love using recently invented (and redundant) words because they think it makes them sound smart and hip. Sorta like people who think JS is an amazing language and love to sell that point of view.

- chocolateboy 12y ago> "Learnings" is at best a pointless affectation No, at best it's a deliberately wonky usage for comic effect [1], like "Internets". It's quite possible the author is being gamesome.
