   My _Webster's Ninth New Collegiate_ dictionary lists both "got" and
   "gotten" as acceptable past participles of "get." 

   Of course, this dictionary is an American product, so it's possible
   that the language of this dictionary is really some mutant language
                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   bearing a vague resemblance to English . . .

Like fer sure ! The American English Langauge Ain't No Mutant of no 
langauge, dude !

ps. Mutation is really nothing but a random act of nature, if the 
product of mutation is weak, the mutant subject will not survive nature, 
and the mutation will not by repreated by generational reproduction, and 
the random act will be as if not existed, else it will progress and 
spread among generations, and will become after millions of years the 
real thing.
