I'd like this link very much, except for one small problem...

Those aren't homonyms. They're homophones. Get it right!

I would say "learn it correctly" personally.

Get it right sounds fine, the others don't. The only thing that I can think is that get it right talks of the result (the result is right) whilst teach/play/learn and do are all about the process. Say I'm kind of grey on - it doesn't sound right (haha) but it's not quite so processy *ponders*

Maybe one of the reasons "learn it right" grated so much is my utter abhorence of the expression "I'm gonna learn him a lesson" or whatever.
