Leetcode Visual Studio Marketplace This isn't really a duplicate, as both the question and answer are different, and include the form "can not" with valuable info as to when not to use it. this was exactly what i was looking for, and the other question answer wasn't. Generally, people use can't in speech and informal writing, and cannot or can not in formal writing or very formal speech. also (as @kris points out in a comment), cannot might be used when you need to carefully distinguish it from can't in speech.
Leetcode Visual Studio Marketplace So, "cannot" means something (denoted s) is impossible, while "can not" means the inverse of that something (denoted !s) is possible. these two statements do not imply each other. of course, the second statement could be rendered much more clearly as "the variable can be not initialized," by moving the "not" next to the word being negated. I cannot find the tool, it is neither in the kitchen nor in the bathroom. i dislike that punctuation and i would either use a semicolon or make it two sentences. but if the sentence is interpreted that way then it only has a minor punctuation issue, while the use of 'neither' and 'nor' is actually correct. Is the following wording okay? he can not only do this, but also do that. in this case, it seems that the writer is dividing 'cannot' into two words. is that acceptable?. Cannot is the only negative form that contains not rather than n't. theoretically, since it is a single word, you can say why cannot you without a problem. my theory is that modern english speakers don't want to put cannot before the subject because it contains not and sounds like can not.

So here it’s about minimizing ambiguity: can not permits two interpretations, while cannot permits only one. such care is critical in the language of mathematics. as another example, west would tell you that in mathematical discourse, both “x is a minimum” and “x is a minimal” are valid utterances, but they mean different things. Why is “cannot” spelled as one word whereas other similar constructions such as “do not,” “will not,” “shall not,” “may not” and “must not” are spelled as two words (unless they are contracted as “. It has frequently been remarked by students of language how often people get these around the wrong way, or use 'understate' when they mean 'overstate', for example here and here. similar topic ("cannot must not underestimate") here a google search for "hard to understate" (with quote marks) mostly returns examples of misuse. I would say that both expressions can have either sense. however, in the first sense "can't say" is more of a dismissive, shrug of the shoulders "don't know" while "i can't tell" implies that i have tried to find out but was unable to form an opinion.
