minor grammatical fix on first line "I got given" -> "I was given"


I think many native English speakers would consider 'I got given' grammatically correct.

Consider 'I got caught' and 'I got hit'.


Interesting, a quick search seems to indicate that it is considered more informal or colloquial even, which is likely why it sounded weird to my ear. But you are right, it is considered grammatically correct.
