The Exceptions

without comments

This is my third post in Anything About English.

My first post was pointing out one of the exceptions in English language.

The second post. Well..
Few minutes after publishing the second post, I was listening to one of the Grammar Girl’s podcast, episode 204, Is “Got” proper English?

I said:

When it comes to the length of word, the British is the winner.

Mignon Fogarty, in her podcast, said:

If you speak American English, you will use “gotten” …. Users of British English, on the other hand, will say “got”

Hm..
With language, you’ll never know.
:D
