    That's obviously a mistake. Clearly it's not a real American dictionary, it's obviously some pinko-commie-leftist propaganda intent on destroying the very foundations of our Jeffersonian Democracy.

      Just checking to see if gotten is on the new "Banned Words in a Message Subject" list... It looks like Chris's head might explode with all of these instances of the word gotten in the Lounge.

      It sounds better than the alternative that I have heard... Getted This bugs me almost as much as those that cannot seem to simply 'ask' me a question, but feel the need to 'ax' me something instead. These are all up there with phrases such as 'more better'. UGH.

            English is the closest thing we have to real “international language”. So probably he is “victimized “ from his “glorification”.

              USians speak something approximating English, but with curious spellings, appalling grammar and a quaint syntax! :)

              Ah, i think i see where the problem lies. See, there's a country over in the UK sometimes referred to as England, but it's a bit of a relic - the new version came out years ago, on a modern, east-facing coast, and filled with proper English-speaking people. Unfortunately, not everyone picked up on the upgrade, so there are some regressions that pop up from time to time...

                Hey, we've had upgrades! England became Great Britain, became United Kingdom, became the British Empire. Then we restructured and reverted to our core industries, out sourcing our old dominions into the hands of the natives. Generally it has been ok. It is just a shame that most of them want to operate in Blighty.com

                  Yeah, that looks good except for California, which is, as we all know, the bastion of pinko-commie-liberals - I mean look at their governor, he can't even speak without an accent!!! In a real Jeffersonian Democracy, all leaders speak American without accent.

                                Gotten is an old english word no longer used in its original manner. It meant gained. Today it is only used as an adjunct in terms like Ill-gotten or Mis-begotten. I know USians still employ it as a word, but there lies many a difference! :) Funnily it is not a word I disapprove of as it is still within the English Language. Dove as a past participle though! Urghhh! Dived please!

                                          It sounds better than the alternative that I have heard... Getted This bugs me almost as much as those that cannot seem to simply 'ask' me a question, but feel the need to 'ax' me something instead. These are all up there with phrases such as 'more better'. UGH.

                                          Has that ever been used as anything other than an unfunny joke? I remember someone who used to use the expression more betterer but it almost seemed to be used to poke fun at people who might say more better but I was unaware who those people might have been.
