Is there any way to use that word that's "correct"?

Apparently it was once correct everywhere, but the British have stopped using it. It's still considered correct in American English. -- nm

heh. I have found a few sources that said "had got" is British, whereas "had gotten" is American. I was taught that "gotten" is always wrong.

part participle of "get" is "have got". People confuse it with "have forgotten" -- nm
