- This is Oliver Cole And Mark Campbell.Here on the voice of Trumaine College, W-H-l-P Radio
- And for those of you on the football team, that spells "whip."

There are those who believe that football players are recruited and given huge college scholarships only because of their football playing abilities - to make the alumni happy, to make the college name famous, and to help raise money for other programs. That is, their academic prowess may be limited - for example, their ability to spell simple words.

And please note that "can't" (= "can not") always has an apostrophe. If you write "cant" it has meanings such as:-

cant (adj.): stock phrases that have become nonsense through endless repetition.


cant (verb): to heel over or lean over.


cant: a slope in the turn of a road or track



cant: (as in "non-standard speech") n. : a characterist
