Make Your Parallels Parallel!

I see this mistake a lot.
First panel:
He should say “What would you say if I were playing golf instead of cleaning the garage?”
or
What would you say if I played golf instead of cleaned the garage?”
The two parts of his sentence are parallel, so they should have the same verb form.
Of course, in this case he’s wrong no matter what he says…
We met at McKee’s cultural night. I like your site. I hope to visit it often.
You’re about the second person in ten years to actually tell me they checked out the site! Glad you like it.
