J.L. Austin analyzed the ordinary meaning of “I can” and argued that there might be an implicit “if” lurking in the background of such statements. Thus, he tried to unearth the ambiguity of the situation as to whether ‘cans’ are constitutionally iffy. He extends the phrase “I can” to mean “I can, if I try”. Thus, he takes into account two aspects of a situation, that is, the physical ability to perform an act and the desire or the intention to undertake it. This physical ability may also be in terms of physical conditions which may prevent an individual from taking an action such as the ability to hole the putt.
