| "and that includes rules that I would hope ALL of us can agree on, such as 'If I were...' (correct) rather than 'If I was...' (incorrect),," In the published script and published score, it is consistently "were" where it should be. Harrison gets one of them wrong on both the OBCR and the OLCR, and Ian Richardson gets all of them wrong. They both also start with "What in all of Heaven can have prompted her to go?" instead of "What in all of Heaven could have prompted her to go?" |

| Sidebar again: The writers on Cheers and Frasier consistently had a similar problem--Kelsey Grammer's background and education were not as grammar-intensive as his character's and that, coupled with the actor's preference for little rehearsal, led to some whoppers to deal with in the editing suite. Thank you, Alan, for that information. It add another dimension to this discussion. |
