"It would be fine if the question mark weren't there."

The subjunctive in English is dead, let it die peacefully.

If I'm going to be prescriptive, I'm going all the way.

That’s exactly the kind of prescriptivism up with which I will not put.

Your comma is spliced.

And I’m going to continue to blithely ignore outdated grammar rules.
