Actually, the conjunctive (or "past", who cares?) third person singular form of "to be" is "was". If, say, someone in a mission text says "... that it were possible", is it definitely a typo, or is there some slang, dialect or old-fashioned form where it's correct?
"that it were possible" -- correct or wrong?
