Sorry wuap, you are too involved to offer an unbiased opinion. Usage is king! Ask any non-spanish speaking missionary/librarian what "mood" is expressed by using the subjunctive in English and you'll get 50 of these:Originally posted by wuapinmon View PostBecause people have gotten lazy with its usage. It is not vestigial, and wishing that it were so won't make it disappear anytime soon.
Even if it is there, no one's using it, so what's the point? We've moved on.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
Dig your own grave, and save!

let's ask Sizzle to work his magic. Have him donate his time and efforts to build up CUF (paraphrasing to avoid hellfire and damnation). Can he create some good ones using the logos of our CUF teams...byu, utah, texas, OU, SC, oregon, jazz, lakers, dodgers, giants, etc? I have no idea how much work that would be, btw, so sizzle I could be talking out of my ear on this one. sorry.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostWe need to get a more current BYU icon/smilie.
I would prefer a stretch oval Y, personally.
Like I said, I didn't do a thorough search for really good ones, but I knew we were going to want to use the sports-themed ones.
sorry.
Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

If was to discuss the subjunctive at my parties, no one would show up.Originally posted by Babs View PostI was complying with a direct request from the admin, thank you very much. Why don't you just go back to misusing the subjunctive at that happenin' little Craigslist party of yours?

Buck up, man. You did a great job. I am just asking for a minor tweak.

Do we really need all the logos, though? I mean we non-cougar-ute fans can just drop them in from our other boards. Personally, I get really annoyed having that Dayton Flyers logo cluttering up the smiley collection.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Postlet's ask Sizzle to work his magic.

Plus I just don't like making it so easy for others to desecrate the Schooner.
ps. Totally unrelated, but could we get an emoticon for fishing for compliments?

Do you say "If I was you?"Originally posted by falafel View PostSorry wuap, you are too involved to offer an unbiased opinion. Usage is king! Ask any non-spanish speaking missionary/librarian what "mood" is expressed by using the subjunctive in English and you'll get 50 of these:

I recommend that he takes Spanish 101

Which one?"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.

If I'm in Heber I do.Originally posted by wuapinmon View PostDo you say "If I was you?"

I recommend that he take Spanish 101
Which one?
But that's not the point I'm making. I'm not saying that we don't use the words as the "mood" requires. I'm saying the the words don't express the "mood" they once did. People don't even the mood used to express anything. Its just grammar now.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
