0 Hi, Spring02br

00I understand "as if" and "as though" are the same. All of your sentences look correct to me at least grammatically. But I feel it is tough to catch the exact meaning of "He demanded that his friend apologize as if his behavior were not offensive". I rather feel "not offensive" should be "offensive".02br
