LearningsEdit
"Learnings" is actually a word used by some people, usually as a pompous alternative to "lessons" or "teachings." It makes sense to use such an alternative within this mystical yet superficially nonsensical context. 67.238.190.140 21:27, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
- Since it's not listed as a word in any dictionary that I can find, I've opted to leave the sic tag there. – Robin Hood↝talk 19:57, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

- It's possible that other dictionaries just aren't listing it since it's a simple plural of "learning". I'm ambivalent as to whether we should leave the sic tag in or not...it's just that I can foresee a whole lot of people trying to correct it or add the sic tag back since they've never heard of the word before. I'm open to the idea of removing it and seeing how it goes, though. – Robin Hood↝talk 20:15, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- I don't really care either way about the sic tag, I just thought I'd point out that it is listed somewhere. I've heard and read the word used before and wouldn't have put a sic tag on it if it wasn't already in place, but as it isn't commonly used, I don't think it's a bad idea to leave it up either. I'm pretty indifferent about it, really. ABCface◥ 20:18, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

(←) This is certainly the correct use of the word. I think the sic tag should be removed. —Legoless 21:47, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- It's not commonly used in modern times, but I think "learnings" is a word. It's probably a bad idea to try and slap sic tags on all of the arcane but legitimate words used in the TES series. Minor EditsThreats•Evidence 06:21, 13 September 2012 (GMT)
