People clamouring to defend bad spelling/grammar pisses me off more than people accidentally making bad spelling/grammar mistakes because they don't know any better. Indeed, I know I make spelling and grammar mistakes all the time, but I don't defend them.

"The English language evolves," is still not an excuse. Can't is not, and will never be a word. It is two words. Even abbreviated it is still two words. And "cant" can not, in any way, shape, or form, stand in for "can not" without that apostrophe.

RELATED RANT: FIREFOX SPELL CHECK IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT.

... Okay, I think I'm done.

Oh, I am aware that cant is a word of it's own, but it's not in any way related to "can't". Er. This is all meandering away from the point, though |D.
