This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KMAG/KAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
Yes, it’s Monday…again.

But it’s okay! We’ll get through it.



Free Speech is practiced here at the Q Tree. But please keep it civil.
Discussion of Q is not only allowed but encouraged. Imagine that! We can talk about Q here and not get banned.

Our President is fighting for us night and day…please pray for him.

Outlook for the Week:
Stormy with a chance of Kraken.

If we’re lucky…we may get to punch a Karen or two.

Wheatie’s Words of the Day:
Learnt vs Learned
Learnt and learned are both used as the past participle and past tense of the verb to learn. Learned is the generally accepted way of spelling it in the United States and Canada, while the rest of the English-speaking world seems to prefer learnt for now.
Why for now? The American English tendency toward making irregular verbs into regular ones has started influencing British English, which is why the -ed variant is becoming increasingly used around the world. Soon learned might be the most common form everywhere.
There is an exception, though, when learned is the only option. That is when it is used as an Adjective…for example, when you say that someone is learned. And then we pronounce the word as two syllables: LER-ned.
Personally…I use ‘learned’ whenever I need to say: “I learned something.”
Because to say…”I learnt something.”…sounds like hillbilly jargon.
