Well, well, Mr. Tony, I see here in this sentence you wrote that the verb 'were' is in the subjunctive mood. So you obviously know that the subjunctive mood is used to express a hypothetical situation, as in my question for TH. Do you see, Mr. Tony, how you just spit that old subjunctive mood thing right out there on the page?
Could it be that perhaps you, yourself, are the English major of whom you speak sometimes?
Imagine that, if you will. You, Mr. Tony, one of those English majors that you insist upon besmirching. English majors have to put up with being besmirched on Garrison Keillor's show, too, not just on TOTV by you.
But it is all becoming clear to me now. I suspect you is a English major. I obviously could not be one. Perhaps you have repressed it. Perhaps it is time to come to terms with your past. Think about it, Mr. Tony. Were you an English major?
