Today when I was watching the episode "TOW the Embryos" I noticed in one part where Courtney screwed up a line.

She goes "Look Rach, we have to move. I mean if WE had lost, we would’ve made them get rid of the birds. Right?". Shouldn't she have said 'if they had lost'? Too bad the editors didn't catch that.

Yes, this has been noticed before. :)

And indeed Monica should have said "if they had lost".

The philosophical point is, is this an error? Why should the characters always get everything right? Monica & her friends are supposed to be like real people, and real people sometimes make mistakes, so why not her?

Only if they pick up on it. Remember, we have the opportunity to view their conversations over and over again; they don't. Do you pick up on every mistake your friends make the first time around?

Indeed, and look at the context - the girls had just lost their apartment due to Rachel hating the birds and now she's trying to welsh on the bet.

She's not worrying about Monica's grammar!

It's better as it is, more natural.
