    Default You don't "got" it.

    The word "got" is an abomination of the English language that uneducated dolts use when they don't possess the vocabulary to properly express themselves.

    Some examples:
    • I got the new copy of Final Fantasy.
    • I got the Swine Flu.
    • I've got a bad cough.

    You don't "got" any of those. What you've "got" is poor command of the English language.

    Acceptable versions:
    • I bought the new copy of Final Fantasy.
    • I caught the Swine Flu.
    • I have a bad cough. (I have got a bad cough? That's ludicrous!)

    (SPOILER)If you haven't guessed, it's started grating on me lately when people substitute "got" for a more meaningful word and I'm working on removing it, or at least severely trimming it, from my daily use.
