pres perf/past simple

Post by ina »

It seems that I have already sent U a private message although it isn't allowed. i just want to say i'm sorry, but I didn't get it at first.
My question was is the sntnc ''I didn't call her ever since '' correct?
I know that pres perf is preferable here but is the above one correct.
What does a pro shop mean?
regards

It would be admissible only in informal American English. Standard usage here would require the present perfect.
