Has Che died?
Yes, Che has died.
Am I implying that I think he is still alive when I say he has died?

rules often have exceptions.

If somebody says: Chris Farley has performed on SNL before. Are you going to say/think 'OMG you know he is dead right'?

[/ QUOTE ]

the more times he refers to him in the present tense without using the past tense, the more likely it is that he thinks farley is still alive.

if he said "i know chris isn't an angel," that would be pretty convincing (unless he was being literal).

I wish I could. If you are going to be grammar nits, at least be correct.

[/ QUOTE ]

like when you said "has accomplished" is past tense?
