"There has long been"

"that's been"

"They've both always been"

In these phrases, Trevor, "has ... been" is the clue.  It indicates past 
tense.



"But now"

"Because now"

"So now"

The word "now" is the other clue.  It means that I'm talking about the 
present.



Does anyone wonder why I get upset?  I'm trying to do something 
productive for the community, and I get this crap.  It really makes me 
not want to participate in the lists at all.  Should I just go back to 
ignoring Trevor's posts completely?
