I have heard that US English is much closer to the English of the 1600s, whereas ours evolved under the influence of French, and I guess some things dropped out of common usage. Gotten being one of them, posssibly until the invention of YouTube sped up globalisation.

Oh that's interesting. Because we all think of the British accent as code for colonial period speech on TV shows.

I was watching a video about that the other day, turns out the generic American accent is probably closer to the English accent of the time than ours is.

In that context, you're implying that you can't believe you use it that way

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Sometimes I can't believe anything.
