YAGPT: Yet another Grammar Police Thread. OK fellas, Pass, Past, Passed NOT THE SAME.

[PlatinumGold]

pass = link

past = no longer current

so based on those to links, which would you choose:

time has PAST / PASSED you by.

Didn't look at the links, but it's time has passed you by.

Sorry but no - the sentence in full would be: "...but it is time has passed you by." 'it' representing the answer to the question. To be totally pedantic, 'time has passed you by' should be in quotes.
