Ok, I'll admit now I am not going to win any spelling B's so I will have a guess. Is it 'cannot' should be 'can not'?

Yeah it's 'can not' and 'you're'.
Actually, it's just "you're".
Reeverbs tips of the day: When do I use your or you're?
Replace 'your'/'you're' with 'you are'.
If it screws up the sentence then use: Your.
If the sentence still makes sense, use: You're.
But when do I use they're, their or there?
Replace they're, their or there with they are.
If the sentence still makes sense use: They're.
The difference between their and there: There means something is not here. Their means something belongs to them.
Thank you.

Not true, you'd be surprised that those who learn English as a second language talk in a very proper tone. It's like when people who learn a different language learn the correct way to say everything instead of the slang.
EDIT-
As for the OP, I'd dig up the Grammar Police award, but I'm too lazy.

It'd be different when I'm reading a book or this in game pop up. That's pretty sad, haha!
I do think you're right though, Ballak. I spell a lot worse in Dutch than in English.

Can't remember it off the top of my head. But when you finish an Assassination mission for the Machines, Agent Gray congratulates and says he won't forget what you've done, but there's no comma, so it's one long, non-sensical sentence.
Assassination missions have a ton of typos, where commas or periods are concerned anyway.
Caught another one. Dual Nishiki Furys should read Dual Nishiki Furies. Same for silenced and enhanced variants.

Thats a name so I dont think it would apply, you would call a couple guys called Gary, Garies would you?
SolidRevolver wrote:
Nope. But it's a type of weapon, rather than being a proper title. Maybe I'm wrong, but that doesn't seem right.
EDIT: I could be wrong here. Dev clarification, maybe?

Proper names aren't subject to that rule. If the name for the single-gun type is 'Nishiki Fury' then 'Dual Nishiki Furys' is correct.
In the Mero mission Battery, I noticed Nicky G's info said she now claims to "Operative Independantly"
Well, engilsh is not my first languaje. And it's kind of hard understand some of your contractions.
Thinks like lol, *CENSORED*, ftw, w8, ur, 4vr, plz, gf, tx and stuff.. I truly need a special dicctionary about their meanings.
Is it too difficult to type the whole expression? :S
