Thanks, but I still don’t understand why I get the pedantry when I call this a tense, but the founding fathers of English grammar walk scot-free by calling it “present perfect tense” instead of “present tense perfect aspect”? Why is this even a debate with me specifically, I don’t get it :) It’s obvious that tenses that serve other functions can also be called a tense, and yet keep their supplemental grammatical roles. Why is there a resistance to accept this in my case? :)
