I would have been the photographer in the front row. Can't remember if I was working for The Collegian of LaVie then, think it was Lavie. One of the best and some of the nicest people were Steel Pulse and Herby Hancock. Got to meet them and go out with them later on.
I asked moms (fine art/advertising ‘87) if she studio timed with a 6 3 north halls skinny gay dude, she doesn’t remember but how funny if you two knew each other.
Yes because we all wore that on our heads.I asked moms (fine art/advertising ‘87) if she studio timed with a 6 3 north halls skinny gay dude, she doesn’t remember but how funny if you two knew each other.

Being an English minor can be a curse. If you DO correct something that is wrong ("me and Joe" for instance) you get ridiculed for being the grammar police, and if you DON'T correct an incorrect use of grammar, or many times like this just simply a misused word, the mistake just gets more rooted in our culture. So --- that said, let's move on to "can" and "may". This one is actually quite easy (unlike "affect" and "effect"). "Can" primarily means being physically able to do something, (I can do that) while "May" primarily means asking permission (may I do that). In the case of this initial post, the correct word should have been "May", not "Can". I realize that I am subjecting myself to what is usually an onslaught of sharp criticism ("who gives a f**k") when someone on the board has the audacity to correct bad English, and I also want to emphasize that I am not singling out the OP as a large number of people misuse "can" and "may". Hopefully someone might actually post the reply, "Thank you, I didn't know that". As I initially said, "being an English minor can be a curse

Some here may know of Fil from Wings of Pegasus - guitarist turned music reactor (I admittedly found him through his admiration for Glen Campbell). He does vocal analyses, and has recently outed the Eagles tour and now Taylor Swift's tour for "miming".
Well, things weren't always that way.

Well, if you look at the GIF used, you will notice that 'can' was the operative word and as such I used the same operative word to allow a clear word flow from my thread title to the GIF- which, if read sequentially, offered a response to the thread title and a rebuttal to the response.Being an English minor can be a curse.

Had I used "may" then the word flow would have been disrupted.
I agree with you on the differences between 'can' and 'may'. However, I was not asking permission, I was questioning the mechanical act of posting a jukebox thread on a Thursday as opposed to a Friday. So 'can' is the correct word to use.
I stand by my post and the language used.

Now help me with may/might. Is it something might happen or something may happen?Being an English minor can be a curse.
