Your first one is my top pick also. Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 06/04/2017 08:01:00 PM

Because it's so easy to figure out whether to use subject/object if you just spend 5 seconds thinking about it. Subjunctive is trickier, and I know not everyone gets it, even though it always sounds wrong to me when it's missed.

I'm a big verber though.

If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.
