Untidiable?

The emphasis and implication with は is that there is something else that can be used.
→There is something else that COULD be used, but the speaker doesn't know or care. Here again just considering "ha" as a topic marker works.
No, absolutely not. Even conservative people frown upon hearing を in potential forms. These people are diminishing in number, I believe.

This previous discussion of NANGI san and Epigene san is where I was coming from, but if it is only confined to 読める。。。

ために or ように?

Ahh ok. I'll be sure to pay more attention to her posts next time. It's good to know how long or how good someone's Japanese really is before you go listening to their advice. I know in the past I've read people's advice and comments only to find out later on that they really don't know what they're talking about.
 
Really? I wonder why?
This is a link to the earlier posts I was talking about. Sorry about the formatting but I wasn't sure how accessible it was at the end of that thread....

Which one is correct, 「英語を読める」 or 「英語が読 める」? I think 「英語が読 める」 is major but both of them are correct. And I think you should use 「英語を読める」 in formal.


I agree. が is used widely in spoken Japanese, regardless of whether it is emphatic or not. However, I think that every Japanese who consider oneself educated will use を, especially when writing.

Or maybe it's because I belong on the other side of the generation gap....
