I would say that rather language is an instrument capable of explaining both real and very unreal situations, and it is only natural for it to strive to be able to communicate *both* possibilities. P.S.: I don't want to sound carping, but I've noticed that you tend not to return to the beginning of the line after every so many characters. If you would please make a return, that would make reading the text of your letters far more easy, at least for me.
