Grammar
The article states: The title of the song is ironic, as though acceptable it is technically grammatically incorrect (the correct phrasing being 'I have gotten my education').
Shouldn't the correct grammatical phrasing be "I have received my education", or more simply "I have my education"?
"Gotten" seems to be an American English word, that isn't used too often in other English language dialects. There's an interesting discussion of it at http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jlawler/aue/gotten.html --Belfry (talk) 01:54, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
