I would have said "He was learned", meaning having mastered abstruse academic knowledge. Is "He was learnt" standard in NZ?

A software glitch? A bug in the onion? I stand by Mercutio Florio, son of John, as the true Shagsberd. All others pale amongst the groundlings. MF was suggested by Friderico Georgi (pseudonym of Franz Maximilian Saalbach). [addendum] William Shakespeare, alias Mercutio Florio, von Friderico Georgi. Although it may have been written by Erich Gerwien. (It was self-published in Heidelberg. I've browsed a typescript.) Last edited by zmjezhd; 10/07/2005 11:55 AM.
