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.

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.

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!

I still use it, in it's original intent. Does this mean I'm an old English git myself now?

These are all up there with phrases such as 'more better'.
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.

In America, we would only have typed out that whole message one time.

Of course not, everybody knows that Strove isn't even a word! But dove is an exception, surely?

"He dove through the air with the greatest of ease" "He dived through the air with the greatest of ease" Hmm, personally I think I'd prefer the former, it seems to sound better.

Do you realize how many people say "snuck" as the past tense of "sneak?" The correct past tense of sneak is sneaked: "I sneaked into the house." But it seems 99% of the people say snuck. Snuck is not a word.
