Got to Go

I've come to the conclusion that the verb 'to get' is totally redundant within the english language and as such should be cast out and destroyed. The same is true with 'got', as in 'have you got any money'. I think we have suffered this poor use of language for too long now, and it must be stopped.

Take any sentence with the word 'got' or 'get' in, and you can word it better without that word.

I feel a website coming on.
