I’m not exactly lying. But I have noticed over the past ten weeks that when people ask me where I live, instead of saying “I live in Carluke”, I have taken to using the phrase, “I’ve been living in Orkney for the past couple of years.” Of course there is nothing wrong with living in the Clyde Valley, and I am incredibly grateful to my cousin for giving me this opportunity. But can you blame me? I mean, let’s face it – a remote Scottish isle in the far north has far more cachet that a town just outside Glasgow. Which would generate more interest on your part: “I live in Inuvik.” or, “I live in Oshawa.”? Exactly. Fortunately, the perfect continuous present tense can blur quite nicely with the simple present tense, so I don’t feel I’m truly lying to people. Misleading? Possibly. Lying? Of course not.
