the comma

<p>as long as we are on a grammar topic, what about the difference in was/were. i don't know how to use it properly, so i generally avoid using either :(</p>

<p>i wish i were a monkey
i wish i was a monkey</p>

<p>whichever one is correct..is there a situation where the other would be okay to use?</p>

<p>You use *were<a href="the%20subjunctive">/i</a> if you're expressing a wish ("I wish I were a monkey") or a hypothesis ("If I were a monkey...")</p>

<p>number 1 fo sho</p>

<p>i was just thinking about this earlier today. weird. i use number one, btw.</p>
