On a related tangent, what are the rules for "got" and "have"?
'Got' (Past tense and a past participle of get.) - I got a speeding ticket on the way to work.
Have is a tad more involved:
'Have' (To be in possession of. To possess as a characteristic, quality, or function. To possess or contain as a constituent part) - I have a cr@py Dell computer.
In any case, "we got xxxx schools" is improper English since it is the past tense of 'get'. And the mope who used it is the teacher Union Rep, most likely a past teacher - simply marvelous.
