Heh. Down here in the deep south--it's "larnt."

In context: while working in the local library branch, I overheard a mother tutoring her child:

CHILD: Hey, Mamma! Teacher says I ain't larnt nothing!
MOTHER: No, that's "I haven't larnt nothing." Say it with me.
CHILD and MOTHER: I haven't larnt nothing.

*shudder* Ever read Tobacco Road? Hehe. Not far off the mark sometimes.
