can someone put this thing out of its misery?

I thought that "can not" was bad usage. You are supposed to say 'cannot' or "can't".

Their our many grammatical mistake's that irritate me. What do they teach people in school these days?

[Brucelles]

Another really irritating thing. My brother in law often replaces the word 'thank' with the word 'spank'. So he will say "Spank you very much", or "Spanks a lot". I feel like kicking his stupid face in.

Why thank you.

No offense, but where the hell do people get this kind of idea from? "can't" is a contraction of TWO WORDS. You DO NOT see people writing "DONOT" and contracting it as "DON'T". "can not" is 2 seperate words. "cannot" is a grammatically accepted grammatical error.

Anyways, if anyone cares, I go by the s\n Can Not on every forum ever, and I found this thread by typing my s\n into google with a few other words.

I think you'll find that "till" is not from "until".

"till" is a shop till, used to hold money and make us laugh on those police video shows as some muppet struggles to open one.

The word you want is " 'til ", which is the abbreviation of until... so chop off the 'un' and stick an apostrophe before the 'til'.

eg. "The till is broken so you'll have to wait 'til it's fixed before I can take any money"

Well actually....link

till is also perfectly acceptable.

The quotes denote a phrase though, so the phrase "can not" is two separate words.

Yes it's badly worded, it should be "can not" consists of two separate words, but saying a phrase are two separate words is less correct than is.

You put those obvious mistakes in on purpose did not you? Do I win a prize for spotting them?

If you do, can you film it and put it up on youtube?

Speaking of two words, I seem to notice the rise of an apparent new contraction of aswell (joining the words as and well, for those of you wondering) appearing on forums.

I know at least one person who pronounces as well as aswell too.

I didn't fight in three world wars, etc.

It's been said time and again, but the one that really gets my goat is people mistaking They're for Their..

you don't say "can not is separate words" though - you say "can not are separate words" (or more likely "can & not are separate words").
