Perhaps they just did not understood the essence of a 3rd party software 'putting everything into XML' is to connect it to a queue and process messages with a middleware on the other side, storing everything to standard relational database?

Gotten? Any chance of speaking modern English?

Why do Britishers hate the use of the word gotten so much? Just because it's more commonly used in North America? I'm from this side of the Atlantic and I don't consider it an abomination. In some situations it is much clearer than the potential alternatives.

Probably because it reminds us of having to suffer Shakespere at school.

It's also a trigger word that sets our resident CanAussien off (the Maunder man himself).

Got vs. gotten - Grammarist[^]
Quote: The vehemence of some Britons’ scorn for gotten likely has to do with the fact that it has gained ground in British English over the last couple of decades. Many English speakers from outside North America resist the encroachment of so-called Americanisms (many of which, like gotten, are not actually American in origin) on their versions of English, and, for mysterious reasons, some feel especially strongly about gotten.
Sounds like you're just being childish...

Nah, we just know how thin skinned Americans are and how easy you are to wind up. It's all a massive conspiracy by the rest of the English speaking world.

So you fake being thin skinned and wound up about our use of "gotten" to get under our skin and wind us up.
Gotcha!

To be honest, I'm more offended by your use of "the the".

Brits don't have lumberyards - we have timber yards.

We'll let this one slide. The timberjack song wouldn't have been as funny.

Indeed... but that was set in Canada, if I recall...

Actually that's a good point. I think the clue, from a linguistic standpoint, is quite misleading in retrospect, for which I apologise.
