I don't care what Merriam or Webster say...
I don't like the word 'gotten.' It doesn't seem like it's a legitimate word. "He'd gotten the wrong size shirt." It just sounds wrong. The dictionary says it's a past participle of 'get,' however it doesn't make it sound any more right to me.

I guess you could take it up with the English. These are the same people who call their toilets "the Loo" and their cookies "biscuits."
