Subjunctive?
I have seen "any self-respecting _________" as "cualquier ________ que se precie" and wonder why subjunctive here. The assumption is "any ________ who definitely has self-respect," not "any _________ who might have self-respect."
Is it because of the presence of "any"? Same question for "no self-respecting _________," which I have also seen using subjunctive rather that indicative. Last edited by Rusty; November 23, 2016 at 08:52 PM.
