Thanks Shane.
And I like your quote about got. My old HS English teacher would shout out, "Gotten?" every time he heard or read that word. I never forgot and cringe when I see or hear it. Similarly, "A preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with!" Off the subject, I know, but could not resist. |

Since Eagle Eye brought it up... I admit, Shane, I've been bemused by your signature line.
If "got" were deleted from the English language, what would poor little "get" do for a past tense?

You guys have gotten to be kidding!
What's wrong with the word "got" when used properly? |
