Actually... thats correct because it doesn't come from the word "learn", it comes from the old Latin/Germanic term "learen" which means 'to teach' - thats how it's filtered through many dialects. (Though obviously people aren't consciously making a decision to do this, it isn't necessarily incorrect).

Also, I am 18, Stropz

It isn't correct though, is it? I mean, yes, I can see how it originated, but it's bad English to say, "Learn me something." If I am teaching someone something, I am not doing the learning, they are.
