Hi Maffey
The expression 'as long as' means 'provided that'. Using this expression in the test sentence would suggest that there is a small possibility that you will never return from your vacation, and therefore there is also a possibility that you will never telephone the person. . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |
