How to use it
Gotten is standard American English and has been for centuries; it is British English that dropped it and kept got. The two are not interchangeable even in America: have got means possess or must, while have gotten means acquired or became. I have got a car and I have gotten a car say different things. If you are writing for a British audience, got is the expected past participle throughout.
