Seriously, I know it comes off as a bit of a default answer but: doesn't
language choice depend a huge amount on the context?
I mean if it's a college site, "Learn More" might be great. Or product
information.
If it's the New York Times or Cosmopolitan, "Learn More" would be
completely inappropriate.
I'm using "read more" somewhat generically at my soul-crushing form of
primary income right now, but I'm not happy about it. I just don't have
time to seriously tinker with the web site right now.
