Re: USAGE: gotten, boughten

FWIW (probably not much) I took a little informal poll of fellow
midwesterners at work.  The overall consensus was to use gotten and bought.
Almost everyone thought "got" sounded funny as a participle and most people
(but not everyone) thought "boughten" sounded idiotic.
