  I guess fashions come and go, but I never understood the appeal of that bright/flat, chalk/paper white color on nails.

  That makes sense. I should have specified that if/when the subjunctive shows up in speech, it should exist for largely the same purposes it serves in other languages… granted, even in that case, it’s less complex than in other languages.

  There’s at least the wiki article on the English subjunctive. Personal disclaimer: To me (though I’m not a perfect reporter), (American) English feels like it barely has a subjunctive mood in practice anymore. If you’re familiar with the pragmatic application of the subjunctive in your own language or others, that may help, but YMMV for how often and how consistently you’ll hear it used in everyday English speech (at least in the US).
