Sorry about that y'all...



I didn't mean to send that to the list... I meant to send it privately.



While I'm here, though, I would like to pose a question...

I have heard the phrase, "as it were," such as, "The ball was round, as it

were." The question I have, though, stems from the use of the plural

past tense "were." If it were to be "grammatically" correct, would that

not be "as it was"? Or is this a regional type of thing? Just a thought!

Thanks for reading!
