Gotten

I'm sure that got is the past tense of got so why lengthen it? Just put it in the right part of the sentence.

Thank you, just wanted to share that.

If 'gotten' is being used in Britain these days it's just another example of increasing Americanisation. Very bad - ATAF because I have to listen to them every day . (ok, some of them are nice...)

Not a word but the use of it.

"Could I get....." as in "Could I get a Big Mac"

Get? Get?

I hate it when people say "arks" in stead of ask, drives me mad.

What I was going to say - more or less - was that gotten is not made up, it's an old English word just as valid as got. It was no doubt taken to the Colonies by English emigrants and has stayed in more common usage over there than over here.

"I'm sure that got is the past tense of got so why lengthen it? Just put it in the right part of the sentence."

Got is the past tense of get, not got. Gotten is a perfectly acceptable word that just isn't used very often in thIs country anymore. Terms like "Ill-gotten" are used pretty frequently. It's just the way the language has evolved. No doubt you're happy with the word forgotten. It would sound weird as shortend to forgot all the time I.e I have forgot, but we could be saying that in 300 years.

I hate "could of" when what was meant was "could have". And all the variants on the misuse of the word "of", including off.

Quite right, but no-one in Britain is saying "gotten" now because they want to revive an old English word, it's because they've heard it on imported US TV/films/music and can't be bothered to learn what has been considered correct usage in Britain for the last couple of hundred years. I don't really fret over most changes in language, but I do think we should have more pride in our identity than to simply copy whatever the Americans are doing.

Same goes for trick or treating instead of "penny for the guy". I'm sure someone could show that gridiron football is closer to the sort of village punch-ups that are the origin of football than "soccer" is but I'm buggered if I'm going to sit through that sort of tedium instead of proper football.

'Im going Tesco's' or 'I'm going Hackney'. Are people just too lazy to say that they are 'going to Tesco's etc, It drives me feckin mad.

The other one is 'renember' as in memory ie 'I don't renember saying that' Derrrr doom brain.

Or white people saying 'man' at the end of virtually every sentence.

I could go on and on.

You're quite right, those uses of 'gotten' don't offend me at all.

My intolerance actually concerns me more than anything else. I guess it is living proof of the ageing process that I don't want to accept.

But whilst I'm typing, may I just mention people muddling 'much' and 'many' and also 'less' and 'fewer'?

I hate the word "Chelsea" when it should be pronounced "Chelscum"

And "triffick" ; meaning "used to play a few times for spuds, and I can make a few bob here"

And "put in a good shift" which is SWP speak for "fooking useless" At least the transfer deadline loans / buys yesterday mean that R's Wipe won't be bothering row z much more this season.

Why does it feel like R'SWiPe is still on the books? Yer Couldn't Make It Up.Well Done Me!
