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.
yeah, that one threw me for a loop and I consider my vocabulary to be fairly decent. I just assumed it was missing the apostroph to make it “won’t”. Thanks for clearing that up
Per screenshots of the “skeet” = As can be understood from screenshots of the post, also known as a “skeet”
as folks on the butterfly app = (a name that) users of Bluesky
are wont to call their posts… = like to call their posts…
“Skeet” being a combination of “sky” and “tweet”, which I hope you can figure out the origins of, and also a somewhat dirty word that the owners of Bluesky would really prefer people didn’t use as the non-generic name for posts on their platform, but is also disturbingly accurate if you compare the conceptually similar word “disseminate” for the spreading of information.
I should probably have separated the above into two sentences somewhere.
English.
The word that’s throwing you off is probably wont

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’.
As far as I know it’s not commonly used anywhere, and is mostly used for effect.
I think it used to be more common in my parents’ generation.
