If we want to call it a verbal, then I suppose so, but generally, can't is not a noun (but it was just a subject again there, wasn't it?)

Subjects aren't automatically nouns. "Can't", when used in the above sentences, is subbing in for the noun "word". (but generally, [the word] is not a noun.)

Now...back to football...

Which makes it a verbal.

LOL, you have to remember that not everybody knows what a verbal is.

This is true. And it is one of the more useless pieces of information that this English teacher carries around in her head.

@StaceyO I think you guys all missed it. If I had to bet, I'd say that the word was NOT supposed to be "can't" or any form of it. Pretty sure that is what he was trying to say.

That's entirely likely.

It is a bit more than likely

That 4 minutes is huge... Much as the no show of 01/09/12 was.
