    I several times read "better then" instead of "better than" in some blackjack books. Also, I am a bit astonished to read "If I/he was ..." rather than "If I/he were..." in native-speaker texts so often. I learned that subjunctive goes as "If I/you/he/we/you/they were" for every grammatic person, and that "I was" is suitable for simple past tense only. Is "was" correct for subjunctive, too, or is it slang?
