Dear Internet Malaprops,

If you "would just assume" followed by a dependent clause, it means that you are only taking it for granted in the subjunctive. If you "just assume" followed by a complementary verb, YOU DO NOT JUST ASSUME. YOU WOULD "JUST AS SOON".

Please get it right. You sound like a fool.

Signed,
Novel
