Yes.But England is full of ignorant pedants who will claim it is not grammatical, because they insist that the past participle of get is not gotten but got. Just about everyone in the USA says gotten (as did just about everyone in England until not very long ago, which is why the pp of forget is forgotten, of beget is begotten and so on, and why the phrase like "ill-gotten gains" is used by just about everyone). I'm Scottish, so I both forms of the past participle - which I use at any time depends on which feels right at the time.
Hi, Tom,
thank you for your off topic explanation, off topic at least in the sense of SQL Server!
I wasn't sure of the use of past participle, yet I tend to exercise my poetic capabilities even in a technical forum, even for the price of ludicrousness 😉
Anyway: Aren't you interested in some Vogon poetry? 😀
