| Jul 13, 2018 at 19:41 | comment | added | user3776022 | Yes I have, but I got confused by the fact that it is also used to denote something that will happen a short moment from now, which is not the context I'd want. When I looked it up earlier, I also came across an article that stated that many grammarians are opposed to using presently in the way I have been using it, which is why I've asked this question. | |
