    AK>> Do you think it would be more logical if we use them vice   
    AK>> versa? ;=)   
      
    AS> Since the apodosis is in the subjunctive ("would" is the past tense   
    AS> of "will"), the protais must be in the past tense ("used").   
      
   Hey, Ardith! ;-) After "if" I used a simple future time -- why not? I don't

   Bye, Anton!
