7.30.09

• "Were" – not "was" – is used when you're talking about a wish/desire or a situation that is contrary to reality.

- I wish I were 18 again.
- If she were here, she wouldn't be there.

- Were I going to the ball, I'd be dressed already.

- If I were you, I'd skip the event.


(This isn't something I learned today. I just keep seeing it used incorrectly.)

• That's all. I won't feel bad about having a lazy three-day "weekend."

Where have you been, friend I've never met!? I'm ashamed to say that I'd given up checking on things around here because I thought your blog had gone the way of the dodo, much like my own. It's good to see you back. How's life treating you these days? Ah, heck, there's a multitude of questions to ask to get caught up, but I've got to go. It's my birthday today and I've a million and a half things to do.
