| | Re: need some one review my this writing It's/It has been a while since I've been looking (ie since I started looking). Since I looked conveys a meaning different to what was intended, because it would mean that he looked once in the past and that was it. What is meant here is that he has been looking for a site etc. ever since he first started looking or, at least, until very recently, ie until he found this one. I regularly email my colleagues and, sometimes, more senior staff. As required to support (I'm not sure I understand this. Is it connected to the text after the ':'?) the new "assignment_delete_ind" column in the assignment table: (it is a known column, isn't it?) |

This is an EMAIL, memo-style, not an essay.
You have provided an additional way in which the opening sentence might be phrased.
As I saw it, Canbefun wrote, "it has been while since i m looking for some site..."
At the apparent stage of acquisition of English by many of the people who post in this forum, I would not want to inflict the nuances of "since I have been looking" versus "since I (last) looked"....
I think we need to be careful. It is very easy for native speakers to trot out the niceties of English expression, only to leave the person more bamboozled(=confused).

We refer to your support query on {description of matter}.
In view of the need to support 'assignment_delete_ind' column in the new assignment table, I am attaching here a list of all the affected queries along with the required changes for your reference.
Please review the queries and let me know if any modification is required. Once all the details have been confirmed, I will then change the codes accordingly.
