Actually, raymonda got it right the first time. He is using the subjunctive case to construct a hypothetical, in which case the correct verb choice is "were" and not "was."
I'd recommend exercising some caution in correcting other members' grammar. Plus, in your follow-post regarding his imagined inability to "take correction," you need a comma before his name.
"Sorry if you can't take correction, raymonda."
Carry on, raymonda. You are doing just fine.
