Per screenshots of the "skeet," as folks on the butterfly app are wont to call their posts

What the fuck is this word salad?

English.

The word that's throwing you off is probably wont

wont

(archaic or humorous) One's habitual way of doing things; custom, habit, practice.

Is this some word that's commonly used in some English speaking countries? I'm a native speaker and have never heard or seen this word ever being used.

The only people that are wont to use this are either somewhat pretentious/want to sound learned, or are using it for old timey comedic effect.

Learned is another word for wise or well taught, before anyone asks. It's said 'Learned', not 'learn-ed'.
