My dear Sir Cumspect:
I am a couple of nip/tucks away from getting a cable news assignment, LOL.
Lots of confusion this past week over three little words: “can,” “may” and “might.”
Simply put, “can” denotes the ability to do something. “May” gives permission; “might” is supposition.
“Can” and “may” are not interchangeable. Ditto for “may” and “might.”
You might think this is elementary, my dear, but one can hear examples 24/7 on cable news.
Yes, you may quote me.
Respectfully,
OMST
