Gotten. This word drives me crazy. Stupid American bastardisation of our written word.

Example "And that's before we have even gotten into the fact that she was in a new country with no family and without her longtime, trusted circle of friends."

gotten into the fact!!!??? The Editor should be fired.

you must be guttered

Hey susse! One of my absolute, all time, best ever words. I am guttered to admit how much I love it... Guttering to see it yoused like this

...I'll begotten fame is fame nonetheless...I wonder if those who speak Espanol or Francais have such debates...I think not...we who speak a cobbled language of our Norse, Teutonic, Frankish and Brythonic ancestors don't really have an ownership of where or how our language evolves...it has always been a dialectic and situational progression of how it all works...evolution 101...

I can live with "gotten" but what really gets me going is hearing tv / radio people talking about "communiddy" or "eletriciddy" or any other word ending in ..'ity" (yes that too, but "tiddys" doesn't get used on radio much)

I can live with "gotten"

Thirdeen.....

When you leave NZ for a while and then come back the accents and colloquialisms sound almost comical.

Flight of the Conchords did ok with that...ill gotten gains?

Some of those accents on American Pickers are a hoot, although I never can work out *how they make a profit with all the miles and time for a few low margin items



* I do know as I have Googled it ( before someone has a Hussy fit and posts up the bulk of Wikipedia)

.. If I want to post a thread in a Rant and Rave section of this forum I fucking well will.

This site is for those with an interest in motorcycles ... the wide variety of topics available to discuss in the (off topic) forums is endless. And well within your rights to do so as a member. This simple fact has not got into the mindset of some on this site. Some do get it ... and some have just gotten tired of the whole fucking subject.
