It used to be a regional dialect sort of thing, where someone would say "can't" over "can" when describing something they were going to do. But I guess it's spread out a lot more in recent years (or not depending on where you live and how people actually talk).
Makes sense if you imagine it being said with a slight drawl... Sorry, the Watchog theme makes me want write things like I'm talking like a Texan (or Clay from the BW games) for some reason...
But anytime. I'll try to get to the other fics as well.
For some reason I had a feeling you were going to say exactly what you did. In any case, I'll see if I can't figure out a way to fix things. Thanks as always for critiquing!
