none of learnt, spelt, burnt (the verb), spilt (the verb), dreamt (except AAVE) are used in american english
or if they are they are non-standard and really uncommon

Your basing all Americans on minichan users? And also basing what fits into the American language on how they type online?

No, it's just an easy way for you to search. You can do a quick google for "learnt vs learned" or similar to read up on US/UK spelling differences i guess
https://www.grammarly.com/blog/dreamt-dreamed/
https://www.writing-skills.com/60-second-fix-learnt-or-learned
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/spilt
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/learnt
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dreamt
etc.
some are marked as "alternative" or "non-standard" in the US elsewhere, so there's that
but still

You're not so much "explaining" as doubling down on pretending your incorrect way of speaking actually makes sense.

sure
navigate your internet web-site browsing software to https://books.google.com/ngrams
query: "learnt" corpus: american english smoothing: 3 (default's fine)
observe the results
query: "learned" corpus: american english smoothing: same (important)
observe the results
repeat for dreamt/slept/whatever and if you are curious change the corpus to british english
today you learnt: most verbs ending in -t are uncommon in american english, where the preference is -ed (or -d) over -t
fuck i hate this website
