If yes, where would you move to?

If no, why not?

I ask this as someone who has moved around a lot (5 states) for better working opportunities. I often hear people say they wish they could leave their current city/state/country, but money is often (understandably) an issue.

      I like to use “were” in subjunctive mood too, but what do you hope to gain in this correction? I see the value in controlling how you speak but I genuinely don’t see the value in correcting others. Language is descriptive not prescriptive, so while this is valuable toward teaching your children it just makes you look an asshole in the public square.
