Just an observation ...
«
on:
March 03, 2010, 11:41:41 AM »
Lately I've been noticing a lot of usernames that contain the word "ASS".
And I enjoy playing bots.
I had a friend search for FIBS names that included the words "ASS" and "bot".
Here's the outcome:
ASS = 166
bot = 129
So as I have suspected for so long ... there are more ASSes on FIBS than there are bots!

Can someone translate that to English for me, Is it past, present, future, Present perfect continuous, Past perfect continuous...
Shall I create a poll?

"I`ve been doing this for a long time" : fibsboard counter says that my total time logged in is 5 days, 12 hours and 30 minutes. (In my mind, I feel I wrote this one it right, I will ask my son tho, if the grammar is correct)

. Or I would have, if you had created a poll.

I thought your first language was English, diane, but perhaps I am mistaken!
I would translate my statement as in the present perfect tense, as if it matters, really.
You must love me a lot to keep demanding my attention like this.
Or

My first language is English English, I guess - not American English
The more usual construction there - and easier on the ear would be..'I have known'...but I can make allowances for the Americans

You should try to do something about that stutter, though.

"I've been knowing this a long time" doesn't just mean "I've known this for a long time", but also hints at being aware of knowing it for all this time.
Which must be pretty exhausting

There are not too many people who can run such a query. May I ask who your friend is?
