It bloody does include "gotten"! It's just regarded as an "Americanism", hence evil to the purity and beauty of the sacred English tongue [*].

British writers writing 'Merkin can be painful. I'm Australian and even I can tell.

[*] may not be 100% pure nor 100% sacred. Beauty may vary. Grammar may have settled in shipping.

I did two polls because of annoying constraints. The second one has comments, the first one may eventually get comments.

The results back up what you've said.
