A couple of days ago I was trying to decide whether to use "proved" or "proven" as a past participle in something I was writing, so I googled "grammatically correct proved or proven", and one of the things that came up was Whil Wheaten's web site; the very first post on his page when it came up, and practically the first sentence, gave John Scalzi as an example of a great writer. I thought that was interesting.
Anyway, apparently either is correct, although some grammar experts maintain that one should use proven if it comes after a linking verb.

Gee you're so smart. Hope no one judges me by my grammar. I once wrote about my English teacher for three years. We only read novels during class and then she wrote somethings on the blackboard for us to study so she could give a test. She was the wife of the superintendant and admitted she didn't want to teach. Paula
