I, for one, have taken your disdain for [that word] to heart and have noticed that in most cases, the word "become" is the proper word.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Everytime someone uses that word a kitten dies.
You're a good man.

As I have said before; The only good cat is a dead cat. All the more incentive to use gotten.
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

As you may remember, Bob Barker always would ask you to spay or neuter your cats at the end of the Price Is Right. I guess in the end this has similar population control effects. I'll make sure to use this word more often.

Dang, I haven't gotten my cat either spayed or neutered... Cannot even tell which to do.

Cue furious debate which English is more "original" - including the War of Independence, how French people are too nosy, why the British are way better at handling tea*, and of course Hitler...

Oh I see - your code isn't working because we capitalize it.
If it wasn't for the extreme liberal bias exhibited by your adopted homeland, I'd offer to come up there and straighten out the rest of your code (for money of course).

That's what you're upset over? When use of "impact" where "affect" is meant is rampant?

No - that example is too cut and dried. I prefer my idiosyncrasies to be about matters that are firmly on shaky ground.

What's GOTTEN into you eh?

"I try and to lead by"
"I try and to coach"
The use of "and" in these circumstsances implies success.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

...which would be a ludicrous assumption.
Yes, you're right.

Well, he was complaining there are less and less of these posts so he should be happy. You're reply is almost unique as I have rarely seen you complain on this topic recently.
This reply should have gotten DD rattled to
