Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

She sure learned him!
thought, like borrow, is difficult to process for multilinguals who are used to languages that may use the same term for both
The strange thing is, it's vaguely possible that "learn" in the sense of "teach" might have been hanging around in dialects of English since the similarly sounding word "leren" was still in use. "Leren" sounds an awful lot like "learn" but is completely unrelated and actually does mean "(to) teach".
Modern Dutch still uses "leren" this way. It's even spelled the same which is kind of rare.
