Because everyone's gone all grammatical in the past week, I thought this was appropriate.

Miss Alli in her Amazing Race recap this week says:

"They close with one of my favorite grammatical forms, the irrelevant-disjunctive, when they say that people will think they're ditzy, but it's a game."

I'm hereby applying for the irrelevant-disjunctive to be an actual tense. I'll settle for it just being a mood, like the subjunctive, but really, it's so much more useful than that.

Favorite examples?

I think I would very much like the irrelevant-disjunctive if I had a better grasp on it. What makes the above example a valid one?
