Interesting! It's possible your teacher was trying to keep things simple, especially since most English speakers probably couldn't tell you what the subjunctive mood is.

I don't think I learned about the subjunctive mood in Spanish class for 5 years, by which time I was in the 8th grade.

OP, thanks for asking. I feel seen.

  1. Using the past tense instead of the subjunctive mood. "What if she was gone?" Nope. It should be "what if she were gone." People (in the US) seem to get this wrong most of the time, except for a few common phrases like "If I were you, ...".
  2. The words "whilst," "amongst," and "amidst." I get that there is a certain history to these words, but I personally never use them as they seem like meaningless alterations. When I hear them, I roll my eyes, but I try not to judge too quickly.
  3. "Irregardless". It's not a word.
  4. "Could care less". An oldie but a goodie?
  5. Overuse of commas. I don't like seeing them as strictly a way to introduce a pause in speech. Commas have specific grammatical purposes, and using them without such a purpose breaks my expectations as a reader.
  6. Confusing "nauseous" and "nauseated".

Say what you want about DI frameworks, but if I have to remove another fucking global variable so I can write a test, I'm going to cut a bitch.

Can you really call Matrix "fediverse software" if it doesn't implement ActivityPub and therefore doesn't federate with the majority of Fediverse instances?
