Not a native English speaker, bit I think got (Br) vs. gotten (Am)? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gotten https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gotten

  AmE definitely uses both. "I got sick" or "I've gotten sick" are both understandable.

    I think this is in reference to the past perfect tense specifically. So "I have gotten sick" vs "I have got sick". I don't know if the latter is actually used in British English, but it's my understanding that the former would never be used since it's grammatically incorrect in that dialect.

      You have got to be kidding me! Neither dialect says you have gotten to be kidding me, right?

        Its not formal english though. The British informal equivalent would be 'you're having me on!' or 'you're having a laugh!' or (rude) 'you're taking the piss'

  Australian here and we definitely use "gotten": - I've gotten to know him. - I hadn't gotten the concept yet, but then ... etc. I think it's the British that have lost the use of "gotten" in favour of "got".
