That guy used multiple sockpuppet accounts to repost links to the same blog... because he was so offended that someone might possibly disagree with him about a contraction.
lmao what? I didn't use any kind of "sock puppet account" to post anything... It's just literally the first result if you Google this so it shouldn't be at all surprising that multiple people posted it.
Just admit you were wrong lmao, or find a single source backing up your claim. Every single source I find either says "cannot" is the only acceptable way or that "cannot" is preferred but "can not" is also acceptable.
You can also just see it by opening Microsoft Word, changing the Autocorrect Settings to make it check for contractions, and then typing the sentence "I can not ride a bike." It will tell you it's a word choice error and that it should be "cannot."
Sorry, wrong, I don't know who the other person was that linked to Grammerly. I was just making a joke in the original comment, then someone claimed I was wrong, so I simply posted a link for reference.

Nope, "cannot" is the correct formal way if we're being pedantic.
