Pleased to see subjunctive mood winning out for a change!

  Two years of Latin in high school impressed the subjunctive mood onto my brain forever. Now I'm "that guy" occasionally.

    As a German speaker "was" is especially awful sounding because we have the exactly analogous "wäre" (conditional, instead of "war" which means "was") which also sounds very similar. I've had people try to "correct" my use of subjunctive... which truly saps my will to live.

  Lol, "was" versus "were" usage is a pet peeve of mine. Looks like some time im 2016 they got an English major to fix the headline.
