Dammit, made me go look it up...

So here's another explanation:

If I was If I were

Quote:
was or were: difficulty is sometimes experinced in the use of the subjunctive form 'were' in phrases expressing supposition. The basic rule is that 'were' is used when the suggestion is of something hypothetical, unlikely, or not actually the case. When a supposition might be possible or factual then either 'was' or 'were' may be used.
From Wordwizard.com

So I'm wrong (above).
