Dear Colleagues,
If anyone knows any reference on a possible (semantic/syntactic) difference between 'as if...' and 'as though...' constructions, instantiated by the examples below, in English, I would be most grateful if you colud let me know. (1) Tony writes as {if/though} he {were/was/is} left-handed. (2) She looked as {if/though} she {were/was} ill.
