How to use it
Learnt is the standard British past tense and past participle; learned is the American form and is also used in Britain. The one distinction worth keeping is the adjective: a learned professor is two syllables, learn-ed, and never learnt. Beyond that, pick the spelling that matches the variety of English you are writing in and be consistent inside a document. In practice the split shows in the same sentence: he learnt the piano reads British, he learned the piano reads American, and both are understood everywhere.
