> Gaack. Anybody using "presently" to mean "now" is using the word ignorantly and incorrectly. I've personally never heard anyone use it to mean "now," but if a lot of people here do, it's an abundant mistake, not a proper alternate meaning.

I think the usage of the word to mean "now" was once used, but is now obsolete.
