12 today
And really - "I might have 'gotten' confused???!" Is an American doing the comments or just someone bad enough at grammar to realise that 'got' would suffice.....
I emailed him and told him the add ons were silly. I got a reply. I think he was a bit miffed, but honestly, he should just stop...
11 for me...

12 for me. I don't like "gotten" either, but it is actually an old English usage, not specifically American or Canadian. I dislike it almost as much as "anyhoo".

I know - but it really annoys me!
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)

Exactly - & neither is the equally annoying 'laying down' instead of 'lying down'.

I am deeply ashamed of getting the Who question wrong. I'm still a huge fan and the song in question should be unforgettable...
