What about people who write "gotten"? It's longer than "got" so as stupid Americanisms go, it's up there with the best.

/Get/ followed the same pattern as /forget/ still does. As such, using /got/ when the equivalent forget tense would be /forgotten/ means that /got/ is the anomaly. It's just that we've gotten used to it.

I'm trying to revive words and phrases from the 30s, 40s and 50s. I'm claiming some success on 'blimey' and 'crikey'.

Cripes, I use both of those!
