This is the quote I was responding to: Hans - This thread is "English as she is spoke" NOT "American as she is spoke". No such word as "gotten" in English. So let it be and quit being assholes. There is no need to be pricks people.

My point was clear, the poster said "gotten" was not a word, the dictionary says it is. Period.

"Gotten", see following link... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gotten[^]
