Hi Gwendo Maybe you should buy.... "Practical English usage" by Michael Swan Oxford University Press
It's a great book which explains a great deal of those tricky things of the English language. Concerning "get", they say "it's sometimes avoided in a very formal style, but it is correct and natural in most kinds of speech and writing." ... and then there are 2 pages about its use.
