“If I was a werewolf I would fuck you up.”
“If you were a werewolf …”A waswolf
Funnily enough, assuming that Vampires can only enter a house if they are invited, being able and allowed to enter the house are, in this case, equivalent.
Would not asking if one can come in ask if it is possible or not, i.e. if the one is invited or not. So to ask “can I come in” is not to ask for permission, only what is possible and not, thus not the same?
Can I come in? => Have I been invited?
May I come in? => Can I have an invitation?
The vampire’s ability to enter (whether he can come in) depends on his permission to enter (whether he may come in). So he’s right.
The worst thing about this is that the English teacher is wrong too - common usage dictates that this is a perfectly acceptable form of request.
He’s clearly already inside the house tho
