True, I meant "can't" in the context of the sentence I wrote...

Cannot is a different thingidy...

Hi folk,

My understanding of the language, as it currently stands, is... 'Can not'
and 'cannot' are two different terms. You should rarely use 'can not'. Can't
is an abbreviation of 'cannot', not 'can not'. 'Can not' implies you have a
choice in not doing something; 'cannot' implies lack of choice.

Cheers,
Terry
