Poor attempt at lightening up as decreed by Mr Hiatus, who joins an illustrious club that includes reasonable types like Alcazar, Pat O’Cake and Bad Apple. Though I’m not sure even they would stoop to dropping Americanisms like ‘gotten’ instead of ‘got.
Gotten actually has old English roots and was used in Britain until the 19th century, when it became obsolete. It’s why “ill gotten gains” exists in British English as a relic of when it was used more frequently. Americans didn’t have the same drop in trend, which is why it is a thing there still.
