Books'-tense. Past..present [future?!] tense.
#7
RE: Books'-tense. Past..present [future?!] tense.
Yeah...I know it's ridiculous and it sounds dumb...but what I wonder is why it sounds more dumb than the other tenses? Why have we evolved and learned to be more used to past and present tense...and why have we developed in such a way that future-tense sounds dumb?
