Not used in British English. Used in American English. Not sure if it's used in Canada - either way, goldy_dollar will surely say it's the fault of the bears.
I'd like a chart please. Pictures and colors will be necessary. There are many conundrums I would have never gotten without the help of pictures and colors.
Nope, can't make it work. Not a word. The Doctor and Rose would have gotten out of this mess if he knew how to dance a good samba. Nope-still iffy.
No "I'm British and I use gotten/got pretty much at random" option? :( But how will I pigeonhole myself now? HOW?
On a related note, I remember one of my primary school teachers getting frustrated when she found out that the whole class (pretty much) instinctively felt that 'jamp' sounds better than 'jumped' as a past tense of 'jump'.

I just assumed that "gotten" was an evil evil word to anyone in the realm of the Crown! My bad.

For some strange reason forgotten is a word but gotten is not.
Actually, gotten is starting to sneak into some people's speech, but it is REALLY REALLY casual and considered REALLY bad english. It's the sort of thing you get told off for if you say it!
As long as you don't sink to "gotted" (and you're rather in the wrong part of the country for that.)
Charts are, of course, always deeply helpful. That or they muddle the problem until you aren't sure what the original question was, which is sometimes the desired result.

But I do admit to past gotten use. Because had got sounds so wrong to me. But I've corrected myself so I'm not mocked mercilessly by my peers.

I used gotten until my Experiments in Form lecturer told me it was wrong because it's American...

Then again, the key word there may be "American"...
