Covert hypnosis refers to an attempt to communicate with another person's unconscious mind without that person noticing. As it often takes place in the course of a seemingly regular conversation, it is also known as conversational hypnosis or sleight of mouth.[1] The objective is to change the person’s behavior subconsciously so that the target believes that they changed their mind of their own volition. When performed successfully, the target is unaware that they have been hypnotized or that anything unusual has occurred.

The answer to your question is smart phones.. that is why you are seeing these errors..
"I have got" is British English and "I have gotten" is American English.
Or, to put another way, "I got" is correct English grammar and "I have gotten" is American English.

'Chances are' is a meaningless phrase, because I don't know what they are.

How about telling me exactly what those chances actually are?
I already know the end result, as to whether or not I scratched, and I know that my result is the one that I would expect to be in the majority, but I am still curious as to what you honestly feel the chances are.
