Save the report with their correction. If you get that phrase again use it like they told you to, and if they ding you for doing it the way they said, you at least have proof and were "just doin' what ya told me to do."
It's hard to do but just play along, shrug it off, and move on.

A couple of grammar rules are at play here

First of all, both got and gotten are correct forms of the verb get. However, got is a past tense or past participle depending on whether or not the word "has" or "have" is used in front of it. Gotten, however, is past participle and should be used with the word "has" or "have" in front of it.
It has gotten increasingly larger - okay. It gotten increasingly larger - not okay. It got increasingly larger - okay. It has got increasingly larger - okay.
So if your doc says it anyway but "It gotten increasingly larger", he is correct. It's simply a matter of preference. Brits don't generally use the word "gotten", and therefore, a lot of people think it is not a legitimate word, but it is.
