Besides why jump up and down about it, to err is human. Machines FFFF up. There is a difference that that separates man from machine.

Yup. Man should (but, invariably doesn't - and is proud of it) know better. Machine does what man tells it.
It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

That's just an excuse, generated by an academic looking for excuses for not communicating a functional understanding of a supposedly native language.
Learning has become an osmotic process, particularly communication skills and far too many people are being left as functional illiterates at the end of their schooling. The form and rules of language change all the time, as the anti-grammar are often wont to remind me, however when you have no idea of the rules in the first place how can your communication be anything other than ineffective?
A subjective interpretation of the English language leaves one bound to a solipsist's existence, forever wondering why people just, "don't understand me".
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
One hell of a ride.
Needs subbing.
Yebbut there is less money in all traditional news media in the Blogger, Cable and You Tube era.
Middle production - Subs, Picture Editors, Art Director, the rag can still be produced without them when revenues fall. But so does quality.

"I was", "you were" are past participles of "to be".
"I wish", however invokes the subjunctive mood.
On checking, it seems that perhaps it should be "I wish I be a glow worm", which sounds clumsy. "I wish I were..." at least suggests that you wish you had been one for some time...
Famous use of the subjunctive by "If I were your wife, I would put poison in your coffee", "If you were my wife, I'd drink it".
Kids these days don't get taught more than the rudiments of language.
Motorbike Camping for the win!

Ah, you are correct. My apologies

Oh, I largely agree. For good communication good language use is important. This is about the shared nature of understanding of words, of the relationship indicated by the simple [speaker concept=word=listener concept]
This is important when communicating complex ideas ...
For simple ideas "Does it look like I give fuck" seems sufficient to me.
Obviously not - because you don't seem to get my point - DOES IT LOOK LIKE I GIVE A FUCK (no apologies for shouting - maybe now you'll get my point!!!!)
And before you ask why do I patrticipate in this discussion? Because it amuses me.
(And I share your pain - people don't seem to understand me either.)
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
