lol maj ! good one !
I like knowing as much as i can about both. Hate being caught out !!!! Even though i don't think that i will EVER accept the american past tense of 'drag' as 'drug' !!!!!!
I confess that I do occassionally find myself using 'gotten' though !!! As in 'it's gotten warmer over the past few days' !!! *** Oh and american spelling is easier too. Centre/C

" I confess that I do occassionally find myself using 'gotten' though "
