Twinkle Khanna is known for her witty sense of humour and her sarcastic comment on various debatable things going on in the country. Actor turned writer is popularly known as Mrs Funnybones due to her hilarious writings. Her pieces make us laugh but sometimes land her in trouble due to her blunt writing style.
Recently, Twinkle shared a piece of knowledge that she got from a scientist. The actress expressed that we should thank people who put hurdles in our paths as hurdles make us more strong and experienced. She wrote on her Official Twitter handle: “Something I learned from a scientist today: Each time someone puts a hurdle in your path- thank them, it’s the hurdle that makes you take a leap!”
While people were appreciating and agreeing with her Tweet, there came a Grammar Nazi who tried correcting Mrs Funnybones. The Twitter user pointed out a mistake in her tweet and expressed that she should have written ‘learnt’ instead of ‘learned’ in her tweet.
And to everybody’s amusement, she retweeted and explained the difference between the word ‘learnt’ and ‘learned’. She wrote, “Learned and learnt are alternate forms of the past tense and past participle of the verb learn. I hope you learned something today. Cheers!”
Learned and learnt are alternate forms of the past tense and past participle of the verb learn. I hope you learned something today:) Cheers! twitter.com/saeedkm/status…
Her reply got appreciated by the fans and went on to troll the guy. Here are some reactions:
Learnt. You’re a writer
Learnt. You’re a writer
The user himself replied back and happily accepted his mistake. He tweeted: “I sure did. And from whom! Thank you”
Learned and learnt are alternate forms of the past tense and past participle of the verb learn. I hope you learned something today:) Cheers! twitter.com/saeedkm/status…
