Interesting aspect on the usage of "having" instead of have. After having (no sarcasm intended in this usage) read several India based news items and articles, and my mom's emails, the usage of "having" seems very common. Examples: "I am having high BP", instead of, "I have high BP".
I have been trying to find out if that usage is grammatically right or not. As far as I know, it is not an accepted usage in NA english. Couldn't find any references in any GMAT lesson books.
Any takers?
It is important to write a reasonably grammatically correct resume. Let's take Morning Rain's comments as constructive criticism.
Thanks - I was just trying to point out that in a job situation, its good to use common english ie/ NA English if that is where you live.
"it is not an accepted usage" for ex wouldnt be NA english either
