Hi Contrex

Many thanks for your reply. However, what is the reason for using the subjunctive?

Many thanks.

The subjunctive is used in English to express a command, desire, hypothesis, purpose, doubt, or supposition.

Hi Contrex

It is recommended that the agency (should) review and revise the language on the website.

Is the above logical? The 'should' is understood. That is my own reasoning.

My apolgies for giving my opinion when you've already told me the reasons.

Many thanks.
