Then there is the other subjunctive tense sentence: "If reading micro-filmed photographic magazines was an inventors wet dream". Not "was" but "WERE".

One statement today by the young that drives me nuts is "something is pretty fun".

Don't get me going. I spent a goodly portion of my life editing. Still do.
