Yes, there was "missing text" - about half the article. Most weird, it was there before - previous comments reference it. I have no clue what happened. Fixed now.

The subjunctive tense is rapidly disappearing from English, just like the word "whom", which is mostly gone from American English by now.

British English too. Like `whom', it's at that `last stand of the dying
feature' stage, being seen as pretentious and overly formal.

Hah, and then there's the passive tense (where I'm not tense because I say
things in a really non-aggressive manner, you know.)
