More to the point who would go to a physcotherapist
PHYSCO THE RAPIST?????????

[EricSeans]

A psychologist should have completed a degree in psychology and studies human behaviour among other things.

A psychiatrist should be a qualified medical doctor who has specialised in the area of mental function.

That's the basic non-Google answer.

Hi Fig. Learned can be used for 'learnt' too. Depends on the context you are using it in.

Learned (someone who is wise through studying) pronounced 'lernid' (2 syllables)

Learned ('he learned his alphabet off by heart' - doesn't necessarily mean they are 'learned' in the other sense. Pronounced to rhyme with 'earned' (one syllable)

If that helps!

Learnt and learned, as has been said, have an identical meaning; the former tends to be used in the UK and the latter in the US.

And Eric has supplied the rest!

Gesundheit

(German pronunciation: [ɡəˈzʊnt.haɪt] is the German and Yiddish word for health. When a person sneezes, German, Yiddish, and some North American English speakers typically say Gesundheit! to wish them good health, serving much the same purpose as "bless you" in English. The expression arrived in America with early German immigrants, such as the Pennsylvania Dutch, and doubtless passed into local English usage in areas with substantial German-speaking populations. The expression is first widely attested in American English as of 1910, about the time when large numbers of Yiddish-speaking Ashkenazi Jews immigrated to the United States.

Palio - my usual response to anyone sneezing near me is:

'Don't give your germs to me!'
