        I'm having problems recently.       'I'm having problems recently.'   
My question is 'recently.' Once again, my college professor student has called me out in class.  I said this in class and she questioned the use of 'recently' and said she always corrects this 'mistake' when her students make it.  She changes it to either: 
'I've been having problems recently.' or 
'I'm having problems these days.'   
I said that grammatically and in written form, her usage is correct, but that it's not an uncommon oral formation.   
What do you think?          |
