with regards to "learned" i heard it in some movie (i wasn't actually watching so i don't know which on" and the narrators voice was kinda cool and he said it, so i'm like "learned, interesting")
so that is why i said that  |

Oh, wow, that used to be my favorite book when I was a kid; I'm afraid to reread it now that I'm old enough to understand it in case I'm offended and ruin my childhood memories.  |

There's a lot of groovy stuff to be learned from reading older books.  |

Calluna is right. "Learned" as in "learned people" is correct. However, that particular use of the word has generally fallen out of favor these days.

It's an older term, but nontheless correct. |

But the term isn't correct in her sentence.

yeah, it's possible, she may have heard it...quite possible, after all, living in a palace with many learned people!

Wouldn't be -
"Yeah, it's possible, she may have heard it....quite possible, after all, living in a palace with many educated people."
Wait.... would "many" and "people" serve as a double purpose because it's discussing quantity? or would " many" be such an emphasis to the term?
If I am wrong, then it's something that I have never heard before. |

| Educated people. Learned is not a correct term. |

What a beautiful drawing on your character! Good job! dazzeling diamond
Gee, what a heated debate on a name.
Maybe Jasmine heard the name somewhere and thought it was pretty and decided to name her daughter Hazel. |

| One of them should remind Al of his mom. I mean, he should remember at least something, even if she did die when he was just a kid. |
