I Can't

July 14, 2007 by Liz

I've been thinking . . .

about the word can’t.

In my internal dictionary, can’t has at least four meanings.

can’t: I am facing a roadblock.
can’t: I am powerless.
can’t: I am without the skills.
can’t: I am unwilling.

I wonder how often I know which of my own definitions I’m using.

Can’t is a contraction.

It seems to make me smaller.
