If I knew what a second conditional was, I'd be glad to give an opinion. But, alas, I don't; therefore, I'll look it up, and come back with an answer later.

After exhausting the UsingEnglish.com glossary, I have come to the conclusion that the second one is the second codtional. I have also come to the very astute conclusion that, because I'm still not absolutely sure what a conditional is, I have no idea what the first one would be classified as.

It starts in the second, because if I said 'If I had been you', it would allow the possibility that I could be you, which is the real headblower. ;-)

Yes. Dave Barry. My writing idol.

I'm reading A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving. It's a book I have to read (summer assignment) for AP English. I've read four hunred pages of it (200 to go, thank god), and it's been really boring. I probably should've been done with it in June when it was assigned, but, oh well. I'm a big procrastinator.
BTW, Dave Barry is a journalist. He's written volumes (I think four or five) that contain the accumulation of his articles from past years. He's a satirical writer; much like my essay I Blame Bill Gates, only much better. I'm still honing my skills.
