Then use 'has been used', or better, 'has been in use'.

Hi Koh,
I doubt that MM's "ouch" referred to (or only to) the question mark.

MM's suggestions are good.

Hi Amy

At first I thought that 'ouch' was in relation to the question mark. However, even without Mister Micawber 'ouch', I would have realised that there should have been no question mark.

Having said that, I would say that my version is incorrect and MM's versions are correct.

Thanks for commenting about the 'ouch'.

PS I think there should be some time allowe
