Re: USAGE: NATLANG: I've Gots An English Question

I will note, though, that I've certainly never heard "gots"
as the participle form.  I'm pretty sure the "'ve gots" in
Mraz's song is made up, perhaps an intentional exaggeration
of "street" English or perhaps just an ignorant replica.
Still like the song, though. :)
