Cannot Find Executable Windows 10 Issue 36 Sqlfluff Vscode 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. 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.

"cannot not" does not mean the same as "can", it means "must". it also carries a connotation that not saying is the expected or default action. Stick with cannot. can't tends to be informal, and can not is usually considered a typo.
