Doug re: subjunctive...

As someone who cares about language, thanks for bringing up the topic of the subjunctive case. If I were to hear or read the phrase "If I was" one more time, I would be just... well, I would... be really mad one more time. You even see it in newspapers.... ach!... People whose job it is to write do not even have a basic grasp of the language...

Now, on TV, I've come to accept that kind of thing, but I still can get shocked at how inarticulate those guys are. I just saw a guy on Fox News report that President Bush "was all about Iraq" in recent statements to the press. Between that, and half of my state on fire, it makes a person look at the big picture.
