Presently has two meanings. The older, meaning ‘now’, dates from the 15th century and is the dominating meaning in American English, as in he is presently chair of the committee. The second meaning is ‘in a while, soon’, and used to be the chief meaning in British English, as he will see you presently. Nowadays the first meaning is just as common in British English as the second, and just as correct, despite the objections of some traditionalists.
