Any alternatives for "for a long time"?
0 Hi Gurus: 02 br
00 I want to express the idea that I have been working on a project for a long time. And my questions are: 02 br
00 1). Can I say " I have been working on the project for not a short time"? I don't want to use "a long time" here, since I have already used this several times. 02 br
00 2). Is there any other way to express the idea above without using "for a long time"? 02 br
00 I appreciate your time very much! 02 br
