Question!
Do we use "Can Not" or "cannot?" This is a serious question because I keep spacing them out D:!
I feel like I'm ruining the feng shui of the wiki here.
Is there a difference between Can Not and Cannot?
Personally I use cannot more.
There is no difference, as both are acceptable. I space mine out :x Also "Cannot" is more commonly used soo....Better request a a text replace...I think?
Also I think "can not" is used in a more empathetic way, which I think is fine consider you can not dye certain parts anyways.
I read that as "You have the option to not dye certain parts" which doesn't sound like a tidbit that belongs on a wiki.
Grammatically "can not" is probably correct, but I think it tends to be read differently or have different meanings like the above. For "unable to do" I always use cannot, personally.
"cannot" is technically a bit less ambiguous since "can not" can make it look like the "can" part makes the "not" part optional.
Is it one of those cases where American literature uses one and not the other? I've always used both without taking it into account.
