使用する際の注意点

• In very rare instances, this adjectival sense is sometimes spelled with a grave accent, learnèd. This is meant to indicate that the second ‘e’ is pronounced as /ɪ/ or /ə/, rather than being silent, as in the verb form. This spelling is largely restricted to poetry and other works in which it is important that the adjective’s disyllabicity be made explicit.
• The superlative forms learnedest and learnedst are archaic and obsolete, respectively.
