I think these should be merged. The former (which includes a usage example with I can’t even) was created in 2015, the latter in 2022. J3133 (talk) 16:15, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

We don't have any attested use of any kind for either entry. We would want evidence of use with subjects other than I, including use with subjects not in first person. DCDuring (talk) 16:40, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
This can be used about other people than the first person, so I've consolidated it at can't even. - -sche (discuss) 08:24, 7 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
