Line 79 ⟶ 80:
* The use of ''can'' in asking permission sometimes is criticized as being impolite or incorrect by those who favour the more formal alternative ''“may I...?”''.
* ''Can'' is sometimes used rhetorically to issue a command, placing the command in the form of a request. For instance, ''“Can you hand me that pen?”'' as a polite substitution for ''“Hand me that pen.”''
* Some US dialects that glottalize the final /t/ in ''[[can’t]]'' ({{IPAchar|/kæn(ʔ)/}}), in order to differentiate ''[[can’t]]'' from ''can'', pronounce ''can'' as {{IPAchar|/kɛn/
