I'm British, and don't believe gotten is a word that should be used. My children use it all the time, and I told them it's not a word. They argued, and to settle the debate, I told them 'if it's listed in our OED, you can use it.'

It is listed in my 2007 dictionary, but notes it as rarely used.

Damn.

But it's not a word. Is it?
