Sadly like many books by Americans, the most common word used is "gotten".
In Britain we are taught never to use this word.
There is always a better more descriptive word to prefer.
In one of her books she refers to Hari Kari. It should actually be "Hara Kiri".
But the stories are good since I seem to addicted to ancient Japanese stories
