there is not only any acceptable upper age limit on learning - such should be as encouraged as those who do all they can to oppress, and oppose the learned, ought to find better uses for their time.

That sounds like me. I became ill when I was younger and had to drop out of college. After many years of being ill, my health started to improve so I went back to college. I just turned 46 and I’m graduating college this June. Only a few more months. I love learning, it’s a blessing. We should never stop educating ourselves.

Shawn, No, it's learned. However, maybe they spell it that way in some of the other English speaking countries
