I agree, Jackie. Jist might could be better rendered as jes. And there's still the oral exam. Very few Yankees make it though that part, south-of-the-border experience aside.

Nothing wrong with 1 would have liked to do, it just meams something else. If the liking was directed at what was then the future, I would have liked to do would indeed be appropriate. If however the liking refers to something which was then in the past then I would have liked to have done would be more appropriate. For example: I would have liked to read "War and Peace" but my boyfriend insisted on going to the cinema. I would have liked to have read "War and Peace" so I could follow the conversation better.
