When I try to use present as synonymous for present-tense, a dialog box informs me that present is used more times than present-tense. When I get the list of questions tagged with present the list shows no questions; it doesn't seem true that present is used more times than present-tense.
I don't have any idea about the dialog box and why it says that, but I just went in and approved the present
-> present-tense
synonym.
Odd, looks like it is already there in the suggested list, https://english.stackexchange.com/tags/present-tense/synonyms
