My Canadian Oxford Dictionary says that 'cannot' is a word. ::feels vindicated::

It does, however, chastise me for using 'alot'. Oh well, can't win them all.

"Cannot" is a word, no doubt about it. But it's a word that seldom makes it into print. It's mostly used to convey a sense of formality.

Several people have told me that 'cannot' isn't a word, but I distinctly remember being taught in school that it is. I haven't known what to believe for some time. But now I have a dictionary to back me up!
