I like and use g*tten. G*tten goes back to middle english and was taken to America where it is still used, we abbreviated it to got.

We don't need either. ###

"I have" is all that is needed, why bother adding got or become? :violence-smack:
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.
