Dear Dr. J.I.,
According to what you have just said (in # 3 & 4), I don't understand your earlier point:
Quote:
Since usually introduces the departure point of time. Such a point of time can only be past simple and not present perfect:
It has been been a long time since I saw her.
I don't deny that some people use present perfect which to my taste is wrong.

Would you accept now the sentence:"It has been a long time since I HAVE SEEN her"?
One more thing, in the sentence "she doesn't phone since she got married", isn't "since" a conjunction?
All the best,
Hela
