Notes & Asides.(Brief Article)
-- Dear Mr. Buckley: In your obituary for Ernest van den Haag (April 2222), it is noted that a favorite activity of his was to invite friends to a French restaurant with the understanding that they would pay the check.
That's new meaning to "going Dutch."
Sincerely,
Ralph Slovenko
Detroit, Mich.
-- Dear Mr. Buckley: Ms. Whitfield's note on "if/were" (April 22) mimisstates the rule, and consequently appears to give Microsoft a bad rap.
The rule is to use the subjunctive after "if" when the "if" clause states a wish or other contrary-to-fact condition, the classic example being, "If I were king . . ." But when the "if" clause presents a potentially factual hypothesis, as in "If it was Tuesday we were in Belgium," then the indicative mood is used.
