No wonder if I tell someone in my country about this case, they would laugh at me. No wonder they are fools. John, I don't think USA has weird legal system. Possibly, it's the best system in the world. That is what makes USA a USA.

I got your point. But I was told when we use would that may mean that we aren't certain if the stated action/fact is true. Like I'm not very much sure if the people will laught at me, when I tell them about that case. Don't you think in such a situation I can use would with tell? Jackson6612 Tenses
