Hello

 

I sent this message to a colleague today:

 

I had forgotten that you had asked me to send you the new Eng 99B IWA
rubric.  Here you are!

 

 

I'm only posting it to see if it makes anyone's head explode.   The use
seems defensible to me, since both actions seem (to me anyway) to have
taken place overtime in the past and also to have been completed in the
past.  Every time I use the past perfect now (as in the previous
sentence), it jumps out at me.

 

Janet
