Absolutely! "You can not do to the dance"!
it depends how you're using it
I tried the CAN of soup but it was NOT good.
That's fine but you can't use it as:
I CAN NOT go to school today.
It's just not correct grammar, don't ask me why my best friend is the english major not me...I just used to get yelled at all the time by her when I separated them.
I don't think so...
I've always seen it this way or the other way.. "can't".. but never seen it as " can not"
"Cannot" is defined as an alternate way of writing "can not." You can use either variant.
However, as an editor, I might look to see how the whole gets stressed in reading, particularly out loud. When "can not" is broken up the reader may read in the stress on the "not".
For example:
His mother said he cannot go out to play.
His mother said he can not go out to play.
It may read different emphasis with the different variation. If I was the writer and I wanted to stress the "not" I would separate the two. If it was more casual, I would keep them together or even write "can't."
One last note - the second sentence would probably use "may not" for permission-type expressions.
cannot cannot be can not
you can be can, or not be not
but you cannot be can not
Yes.
