OK, I am relatively new to these forums, but I love the term, "learn me." I was brought up in Rhode Island, we had a large immigrant population. When someone said, " I'm going to learn you , or learn Me", they were either an immigrant or being funny. It was all either poor english, or good-natured fun. I assumed that is where this came from in the forums. I took it the same as people who knew better, but still said, "aint" just to be funny.
My own errors, (see above), bug me to no end. But I always find intentional errors humorous. I find I am in the minority. The above errors are left intentionally...
I'd be irritated if it was combined with the current trend of turning nouns into verbs. Ex: Learn me how to Civic

Since we're here, shall we discuss whether autocross is racing?

But they do go together like a hand and a glove.

Geez- and they’re a bunch of journalists!!
Wait until you head about what people do to Mazdaspeed3, which is also one word. If you think MS3 is bad, wait until you see Speed3!

Holy crap you’re right. I’ll never look at it the same again
But "Gr" is a single consonant sound (Dipthong? It's something) so obviously the abbreviation is Grassroots Motorsports, and it should be spelled GrM. You know, like MiG is short for Mikoyan Gurevich.

I prefer whether or not ridgelines are real trucks.

They are Fake Trucks, or Frucks for short.
You still have to buy them. Nobody gives any Frucks, these days.

Learnt.
Is that like getting turnt?
I think it’s like the difference between t’aint and taint.
TIL puns in Franglaise don't have much of an audience and no one appreciates the joke about getting scrod in Boston. That's why I come here.

Then theres those of us that will use mz3, ms3, mz5, mz6, ms6, p5, mp3, msp, AND know all of it. You might hear pgt and mx6gt in there too. If that happens, run. Nothing good happens when f2ts are involved.
