there's so much tension in the world already, a few more tenses won't matter.
You're tense, you're irritable, you're just NOT IN THE MOOD, O.K.? If you're out of Prozac--and who isn't nowadays--then let loose with a little DiLingo. It clears the sinuses better than Popeye's Famous Fried Chicken.

GREAT PERFECT
--for use when no other tense will adequately accompany the frustrated outburst of disgust, "That's just great! That's just perfect!" It is necessary to throw up your arms when using Great Perfect. There's no sense giving out the declensions here, because you'll know this tense when you see it. But be sure to get out of the damn way.
REDUNDOFUTURE deja PERFECT
--a tense yet to be discovered except for those who can appreciate 10 dimensions. For describing actions that were never meant to almost be, again. Only politicians can articulate correctly in Redundofuture deja Perfect.

You can usually get away with almost anything in a higher dimension if you just periodically punctuate the conversation with, "Yea-you-right." Unfortunately, this carte blanche devil-may-care behavior is only acceptable in the 3rd person plural (handy for mob thought) even though it's delivered in the contradictory 2nd person singular. It's a cross-dimensional twisty thing, I'm afraid. Don't even try to go figure.
