In language learning theory 'acquisition' is the process where people

Here's the example I always use:
"It's your first day in a country where you don't speak the language.
You walk up to a door. On the door a word you don't recognise is
written.
. . . in a language that an odd and awkward ordering of words uses.
You attempt to push the door open. You bang your nose on
it. You've just learnt the word 'pull'."

I just LOVE these erudite, scholarly lectures on the fine points of
language that INEVITABLY contain misspellings. Too funny!
It might be funny if "learnt" were not a perfectly ordinary, everyday
UK spelling, used by my perfectly ordinary everyday UK compatriot Mr
Cat. Some of over here speak pretty good English.
