I've wondered why people favor a pluralized gerund over the perfectly good alternative "lessons". Probably people who use this word are just mimicking a speech affect, or signalling a verbal register (dynamic manager-of-action)?

"Learnings" will probably become as unremarkable as using "impact" to mean influence or effect.

We can be both descriptivist and cultivate good style (whatever that means to each of us).

What do you think about “asks”?
