Yo dawg, we heard you like corrections, so we incorrectly corrected your sentence so you can correct our sentence while correcting our correction to your sentence.
@hollymarg no, only 'were' is actually correct. Yes, it's prescriptivist, but the reason it is 'was' descriptively is only due to popular usage, which doesn't make something correct. A more extreme example of this would be people mixing your and you're up; there, we can be descriptivist but it doesn't mean what's being said is correct...
@jdgannonable ...but doesn't language evolve? I mean, if we were to take the prescriptive route, wouldn't we be stuck with a language which is old English (pre-Norman, pre-Ango Saxon)? On the other hand, we have preferences/snobbery towards some forms which are in evolution. Consider prepositions which are still not completely fixed in English ...'think of/about', for example. And finally, which nationality speaks the 'best' variety/standard of English...in prescriptive terms?
@hollymarg Languages do evolve; of course, and indeed there is no 'best' response, however to be prescriptivist is to champion the form that has been established in popular usage the longest, and here the subjunctive does have a specific purpose, and in losing it we lose a shade of meaning from English that many languages still enjoy. However, I agree that language change is dictated by popular usage, so prescriptivism is a lost cause.
@hollymarg However, although I am perfectly content with language evolution as long as a language still fulfils its primary communicative function, one of my little irks is when people correct something that is actually correct in a language, but may have fallen out of popular usage due to, let's face it, linguistic ignorance - such as the 'was' vs. 'were' debate here. But maybe that's just me...:)
@MrJoe000097 it's 'were'...it's the subjunctive mood, here it's used to describe a situation that's hypothetical. I mourn correct usage of the English language at times.
@jdgannonable English is not my mother tongue and i dont have so much feeling for the language, but I thought it had to be 'was'. So its wrong in case I use 'was'??
@MrJoe000097 Hi - it's technically incorrect to say 'was' here for the reasons I mentioned, however the subjunctive mood in English has become somewhat obsolete recently, so you will hear people saying 'was' incorrectly, and although it shouldn't, 'were' indeed sounds quite formal and high register. So don't worry too much about using 'was'; most people won't think it's wrong. Although I do wonder why you were correcting grammar in the first place if you admit to having weaknesses yourself 8-)
