Hmmmm... trying to remember if I have used the word gotten in your presence... Thinking I should've read this post before visiting you last eve. and I could've brought you some chocolate to mitigate the damage my peevish behaviour has made you Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01576487047505755889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254427035918080874.post-33983652640373461472007-03-26T15:33:00.000-07:002007-03-26T15:33:00.000-07:00AAAAGH, I don't care, I still hate it!AAAAGH, I don't care, I still hate it!Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550530825314280346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254427035918080874.post-38300814763230274672007-03-26T15:04:00.000-07:002007-03-26T15:04:00.000-07:00Hehe, keep in mind that I have a minor in linguist...Hehe, keep in mind that I have a minor in linguistics for no other reason other than I am fascinated by it. I know.... I'm weird! <BR/><BR/>Anyways, gotten is definitely not an American aberration. It is actually an old english conjugation of the verb 'to get'.
