    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.

      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!

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

                      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.

                                  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.
