Ack. An editor whose opinions I usually happily accept wants me to replace 'got' with 'gotten' in one sentence of a recently-submitted zine story. Am I over-reacting when my immediate reaction is 'hell, no!'?

In case anyone was wondering, the sentence in question: There was little doubt that the sound of breaking glass was coming from inside, but how could anyone have got onto the train?

Well, I use got mainly but gotten when it makes the sentence run better. It's your choice -- choose your poison and stick to your guns. ;-)
