Some years back, this was discussed here. I think I brought it up, and I said that perhaps Sondheim wrote it that way because, of course, the Louise and June weren't exactly well educated. And I think someone responded that he once asked Sondheim about it, or that he'd heard about someone asking Sondheim about it, and Sondheim said it was grammatically correct.

I have run this around in my brain over the years, trying to figure out if using was instead of were is correct or at least can be justified. Which doesn't sound too healthy, does it? I mean, thinking about that doesn't sound too healthy.

But I never claimed to be healthy.
