There has never been any indication that he was on the spectrum, but once he started talking he became very well spoken, and almost dictatorial with how we spoke as children. Don't get me wrong, I loved this man with every part of my being, and he is the reason I am now an English teacher, but god dammit Doug, we can we please use the word "got"?
Well it’s wrong regardless, British dictionaries don’t recognise it as a word. Just because younger Brits are speaking American English more due to social media doesn’t make the word correct.
What do you mean British dictionaries don’t recognize it as a word? Do you have an example of a British dictionary that doesn’t recognize it as a word? The Oxford English Dictionary recognizes it.
Can’t access the info with Oxford Dictionary without paying a subscription which I’m not doing for the sake of a petulant argument on the internet, Cambridge dictionary has it as American English only, not British English.
