Asked on December 20, 2021 in Grammar.
I’ve is shorthand for I is, so while it does sound awkward to me, it’s still grammatically correct. I think the awkwardness comes from the loss of rhythm when using the I’ve form (you’d say the’ve’ part pretty quickly compared to the rest of the sentence)

Is it all valid? Why has nokia sold its cell phones division to Microsoft? Microsoft has finally released Windows Phone, Microsoft Phone X and laptop. Nokia used to do that. Now Microsoft has the right to do it.
Do not use “formerly”,it’d give the impression that NOKIA transformed into or joined with Microsoft, while in reality both companies still exist separately.

When you say “stage name” you mean “a name artists use at work,” the opposite on that is “real name”, the official name they’re registered as to the
