I stand corrected. Looking up the history of the word "gotten". It's not considered proper English outside north America but has a long history predating 17th century English. So it's not ebonics. I was taught proper English and made an assumption that it was popularized when ebonics started coming around. That's when I personally noticed the usage, however that doesn't seem to be the case. Similar to "gonna" and "finna" these are recognized on some dictionary platforms as well however " gotten" does have a long history prior to modern use. So I retract my ebonics claim lol.
Just chiming in that "gotten" isnt a word and propagating ebonics is not beneficial. English is however.
what? Hmm. Ebonics aside, I think it is a proper English word. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/gotten
