Yup, so "learnt" is British. But I think "learned" is still used as a noun, even in British English. Like, "He is a learned man."

Indeed.

Haven't heard of leant, but my British spell-check doesn't underline it, and knelt is a very very common word.

Learned in that context is an adjective describing man.

Learned can be used as a past tense verb.

I learned how to spell chang.

I usually spell it the 't' way but I also don't use leant myself, it was a bit odd to say. I think I used "leaned" for that.
