franky poo

if you remember

one day i used the word "learned" and you asked me "isnt' it 'learnt'"

well both forms exist

and it's not that one's american and one's british

though some people say that

it's cos they dont know grammar

the two differnt forms actually have slightly differnt meanings


and are constructed differently in speech

same goes for burned/burnt

dreamed / dreamt

ahhh thank you SeiSei Emily hehe u have enlightened me ^^
lol.... British or American... will never forget it.
