The Bug:
The term "cannot" is spelled inconsistently throughout all launcher strings.
Sometimes this term is spelled as "can not" and other times is spelled as "cannot". It's important to note that both "cannot" and "can not" are acceptable spellings, however, the first is much more commonly used.
Below is a table I've constructed that highlights these errors and shows the inconsistency here. You can find information about what the current and expected strings are and would be, some context regarding them, and links to the appropriate strings on crowdin.

Before reading the table, please note the following:
Words colored in GREEN are correct.
