The British as they wrote and rewrote english reduced the importance of the subjunctive clause - a clause which is used to express hypotheticals, dreams, wishes and anything that is not precise, exact or sure or unknown - inorder to control people better and to limit the expanse of our thought process for those that think in english. they wanted us to stop dreaming so that we could only think in black and white, in rules, so that we could be controlled easier. Fucked up. Think about that.
