    The fucking "I don't know? CAN you?" Trying to drag a fucking 'may I' out of me cause that's absolutely how contemporary adults spoke in the 1990s you child bullying pedantic fucks. Oh look at you, a middle aged adult with a teaching degree knows more about the finer parts of grammar than a five year old who has heard some said slightly incorrectly because literally everyone, including you Mme. Dentrement, say 'can I' and not 'may I' in regular conversation. You wouldn't correct that to other teachers if one came up to you and said 'can I have a bump of that awesome teachers lounge cocaine?'

        Okay, I do work with someone that is doing her teaching residence thing at an elementary school and working as a waitress at my work and she has to remember to switch from her normal voice which is actually pretty abrasive, server voice and talking to little kids voice. She seems like she's actually be a kickass elementary teacher but the code switches are real

      Also, it's the worst kind of pedantry: wrong pedantry

      Can means "may". It's one of the meanings
