| 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. |

| if i were u = standard english if i was u = everyday english= still acceptable but in the the 3rd type of the cond (or known as the 2nd type)= unreal past...we use if i 'were' you..because i'm not you & i cant be you !!!! |
