dtb, please correct me if I'm not timmying appropriately. This sort of grammar rule is very hard to google.

[hank, please note all my qualifiers in case I am wrong here.]
Isn't it subjunctive? Like, "If I were you, I would tie with dtb for the Timmy award."

Uh, just to have the requisite qualifiers, I don't know if I'm right or not -- note the question mark and the use of an example (to make it easier to tell me how it's different/why I'm wrong).
