are subjunctive forms in English going away?
There's a lot of "If only there was ..." on the Internet. It grates on my ears. Or on my eyes, I suppose.
("If only there were ..." would be correct. Like "If I were a rich man.")
Should I let it go? Is the subjunctive I grew up with a relic? Am I a relic? I'm in the US--are things different in other English-speaking countries?
