Hmmm they'd really like more space up there, so probably. And also you should be concerned about the subject - verb agreement in your sticker.

"Were" is subjunctive in that sentence, not plural.

Exactly. As in “if I were you”.

Could you elaborate what you mean by that? Should it be “was flat”?

[-] marron12@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

It's subjunctive, so "were" is technically correct. But it's super duper common for people to use "was" instead.
