As I've already debunked your down ramping baseless claim concerning DEG's NPV, let me state and prove that's there was nothing incorrect about my sentence which referred to your hypothetical need for medical attention:

Wasn't vs Weren't


I was having a little debate on a grammar issue with someone. The sentence is: We wasn't going to, but Jordan was skipping all the way to the toy shop.I said that it should be: We weren't going to, but Jordan was skipping all the way to the toy shop.The person saying it should be wasn't cited this for support: "The use of were and weren't in the subordinate clauses depends on the reality or truthfulness of the subordinate clause. If it is true, then the indicative forms was and wasn't are in order. If it is not true i.e. counterfactual, then the past subjunctive forms were and weren't are used."He said that since it was true the sentence would be correct with wasn't.He also cited: "The subjunctive mood is used to describe or speculate on a hypothetical situation, and you’ll hear people using both ‘”was” and “were” in this context. But only one of these is correct. Whenever we’re talking about something that isn’t a reality at the moment, we discard “was” and choose “were” instead. It doesn’t matter whether we are referring to a single person or a group of people. As soon as we cross the border between reality and speculation, “were” is the only word to choose.

The key reference here is : Whenever we’re talking about something that isn’t a reality at the moment, we discard “was” and choose “were” instead. It doesn’t matter whether we are referring to a single person or a group of people. As soon as we cross the border between reality and speculation, “were” is the only word to choose.

So you see colonel, my sentence structure was merely guided by either reality or speculation. I'll leave it up to each of our readers as to whether it's the former, or the latter.
