regional variations
Forgive me if I have got this around my neck, but I thought we had previously *gotten around to discussing gotten rather than got. "I have got" and thus "I've got ~" would both be unremarkable Standard English in the UK, I think. What sounds slightly less usual, though a simple little difference, is the typical USnificationalism of "I have gotten ~"
BTW, I like the sound of got - it's hard and forceful and very expressive.
