>averted?
Instead of looking smart using less common vocabulary, you've ended up looking retarded for incorrectly using it.
Avoided is the word you wanted.
>How about instead of mouthing off, first look u the terms so you understand their full meaning.
Anon fully understands the use of the word avert, but it seems even with the definitions, you further demonstrate your retardation. Which one of these definitions do you think describes your intended use?
You didn't answer the question.
Which of the definitions you provided demonstrates your intended use?
>"have you watched TV programming last night?
Present perfect cannot be used with a time adverbial in this context, only if the situation continues and then it would be present perfect continuous: Have you been watching TV programming since last night?
