Hi Gymglish friends,
This time, I'm starting a student contest -50 years late ...
I do not agree with : These days, the cost of living in San Francisco has been rising (Rejected) is rising (Teacher's injonction).
Even if I know that Frenchies (like Jean) have big problems with the "appropriate tenses", I think that is rising is not subtle enough. On such a matter as Economics, Who could be sure that things are going on as they had, till the minute before.
I come to think that Gymglish staff is responsible, at least for a part, in the present Economics collapse.
No, Sirs, you shouldn't be as self-confident.
The future is Nobody's but the Lord
Amen
Cordialement

Euh, I meant
No Sirs, you shouldn't be SO confident.
And I'm afraid there are many more mistakes in this try to make a Nonsense "pamphlet"

I am flabbergasted and I bow to your impressive teaching by means of quotes.

The cost of living has been rising lately in SF.
Since the cost of living is still rising THESE DAYS in SF.

Like you I wouldn't be sure that things ARE going on as they WERE till the minute before.

I appreciate a lot your squib as far as it is humorous.
I just disagree with your saying for I for one think that the future is everybody's - as long as they want it.
