You should start your sentence with a capital and the word "Do" as an auxiliary verb is necessary before the subject and base verb.

To answer your question, no, we don’t have a member named Skee-Lo who plays music. However, I have had this username for quite a while, so we'll see.

actually, the auxiliary verb is not required.

and The Failure To Capitalize The First Word Of The Sentence Represents My Idiosyncratic Porsting Style, Which Style Has Been Ratified by @empricialcanes, Which Is All The Affirmation That I Need.

REQUIRED FOR FORMAL, BUT NOT INFORMAL. MY STYLE WAS RATIFIED BY @I'm james Jackson brother.

Hey, we should write a how-to guide for CIS porsting.

i wonder (i actually do) where Cam was on that list last year at this time. I suppose near 5 or worse.

Yeah I’d be willing to guess he wasn’t even in the top 10. For some reason he just wasn’t on people’s radar and I suppose the whole Miami/Mario situation wasn’t going to give him any favors

Twelve FBS quarterbacks were drafted this weekend.

Eleven of them came from the Portal.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m just glad ON3 got it right by featuring a pic of Shedeur in the graphic.

I mean, the Browns made a big move and traded up to get him. Down in the 5th round. After they’d already drafted Dillion Gabriel in the 3rd.

was is the past tense of the verb to be, he was not expressing a statement about a fact that happened in the past. rather, the porster was using the subjunctive mood (ie hypothetical) so it is were.

Perhaps, except that I understood the poster to be speaking about his actual son, in which case “was” is correct. You use the indicative and not the subjunctive when the situation is grounded in fact, even if it is written in hypothetical language.

But the post is ambiguous, so I suppose we are both correct. 😉

I do not concur. He said “if my son was a five star….” This is 100% hypothetical (his son is not a five star) therefore the subjective mood applies.

If you disagree, meat me in the Blue Parking at noon on Sept 2025 before the Florida game and we will work it out. I’ll bring my Oxford Dictionary on English Grammar.
