quicko: got/gotten
Okay, guys, I still got nothing, so back to the default ESL lessons. "Got" is the British/Australian past participle, while "gotten" is American -- similarly for "forgotten." Thus, an Australian's more like to say they "had got" a box for their birthday, while an American would have "gotten" one.

Really, English teacher? You still got nothing? I would think you still have nothing.
