Ahh... But my point is, why not have it "I wish I was"? I haven't checked Fowler on the issue, but he even supported dropping the "whom". Obviously, I write my poetry in exquisite grammar, or as close to it as I can, but much of it could be all dropped these days - English is a mishmash of too many languages.

Hi Jonathan!! Thank you for your kind reply!! You really sound like much older than 16, because of all your Wisdom achieved and your University Credits. At the age of 16, most people are still in High School. Your appraisal is always worthwhile, though. I am a very polite woman. I am a lover not a fighter. I do not like to argue with anybody. Your dexterity in writing is surpassing my expectations. I wish, I would write better than I do!!..Bye for now, dear. Sincerely, Stardust.

Thank you, Monica. I don't know where you picked up that I'm a university student, so I apologise if I hinted such a thing: as of now, I am still in high-school, and have almost two years of it remaining (I started 11th grade this past September). My affiliation with universities has always been, and still is, minimal. Though I do have connections to the academic institute in charge of my school.


All the best, see you around the forum!
Jonathan
