I use the subjunctive, like a literate person should.

I use "If I were..." simply because my Mother taught me reasonable good English.

'Were I you,' if you want to be highfalutin' about it.

Erm, do you change verb conjugation for hypothetical situations? I know that if i was once a bat, I would say "I was a bat." If I was a bat, if I was an artichoke, if I was him, if I was you.
