  Log:
  Remove ``cannot'' from the word list.  We aren't building a
  dictionary, so it doesn't make sense to list common, every-day words
  with well-known spellings.  Besides, "can not" is a proper, albeit
  confusing, construct.  For example:
  
  	The quick brown fox can not jump over the lazy dog.
  
  The above isn't saying that the fox isn't capable of jumping over the
  dog, but rather that the fox is capable of *not* jumping over it
  (e.g., it can walk around it).  It is confusing (and should be
  avoided), but nonetheless valid, English.
