  yeah, that one threw me for a loop and I consider my vocabulary to be fairly decent. I just assumed it was missing the apostroph to make it “won’t”. Thanks for clearing that up

  Is this some word that’s commonly used in some English speaking countries? I’m a native speaker and have never heard or seen this word ever being used.

    The only people that are wont to use this are either somewhat pretentious/want to sound learned, or are using it for old timey comedic effect.

    Learned is another word for wise or well taught, before anyone asks. It’s said ‘Learned’, not ‘learn-ed’.

    As far as I know it’s not commonly used anywhere, and is mostly used for effect.

    I think it used to be more common in my parents’ generation.
