If I was a...then I would

If I was a coyote, I'd suggest badAmy brush her teeth, she's got yuckmouth.

Omg.
did BadAmy just talk in third person?
Actually, coyote breath is not a bouquet of flowers either. Maybe we both should brush our teeth and quit talking in third person. OMG! I am agreeing with something BadAmy is saying.

Everyone comes around eventually.
 
If I were really a wolf, I’d live up to my name with all the women on Lit.
 
If I WERE stating something contrary to fact, or a wish unfulfilled, I would use the subjunctive (were instead of was). Don't feel bad I read a Supreme Court opinion that got this wrong, but it is wrong. Time for the grammar police to go to bed.
