diagnostics messages have both "cannot" and "can not" forms. I think<br>
we should choose one, and stick with it. Quick Google search suggests<br>
that "cannot" is preferred. Do you have any objections to change "can<br>
not" to "cannot"?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>+1.</div><div><br></div><div>"can not" is often ambiguous -- "X can not Y" can mean either "it is not the case that X is able to Y", or "X has the ability to not Y". In the former case (which is probably the only case that occurs in our diagnostics), I think we should use "cannot" to remove the ambiguity, and in the latter case (if it occurs) we should rephrase to avoid "can not".</div>
