In the main varieties of English from outside North America, the past participle of get in all its senses is usually got. Gotten appears occasionally, and it is standard in a few set phrases such as ill-gotten gains, but the shorter form prevails by a large margin. That gotten is primarily used in North America has given rise to the mistaken belief that it is American in origin and hence new and inferior. But gotten is in fact an old form, predating the United States and Canada by several centuries. It fell out of favor in British English by the 18th century http://grammarist.com/usage/got-gotten/ I have never suggested that no Muslim has ever committed a terrorist act, once again it was the inference in some posts that I objected to.

No amount of Googling, cutting and pasting will make "gotten" acceptable in modern British English, Kizzy. It was once acceptable but not for about two hundred years... like you yourself posted! We used to use a Z in words like colonize and dramatize... but it's not acceptable now. But hey, if you think it's okay to use an outdated term, you crack on. I don't understand why you were addressing your inference from other posts to my replies though. Strange... because I don't feel I said anything at all anti-muslim.

I'll tell you what's 'Irrational and hysterical in equal measure';
The continued blindness and denial of the very real, well documented threat of the murdering, terrorist fanatatics who are Muslim extremists - despite the irrefutable evidence - THAT IS IRRATIONAL. And the way that the words; 'Racist' and 'Xenophobia' are pulled from the hat like white rabbits every time someone tells the truth about Muslim Terrorists, or Unfettered Immigration - THAT IS HYSTERICAL. I am sick to death of seeing those words - no wonder Serious Debate is in decline. |

I haven't accused anyone of being racist or xenophobic. Nor have I denied that acts of terrorism by Muslims have happened in the UK. People having differing views is good for serious debates I would've thought?

Never mind the hypocrisy of a religious person hating another religion for being violent when all religions are both based on and built upon violence. |

Which ones, are you mocking anyone in particular or anyone with a view different to yours?

Lets just say that for instance the people from Switzerland populated the UK on mass and openly spoke out about their hate towards the uk whilst recieving free housing and benefits? Is it rude of the british public to simply suggest that if they do not like it here and they continue to refuse to intergrate that they simply go back to their own country or too another country who holds their point of view?

Wait, are some here suggesting that all those thorough investigations that proved this guys innocence a sham? I have to ask those people, do you believe our legal system is just a very naive bunch? or is it actually corrupt?
