+	* doc/gnulib-tool.texi: s/can not/cannot/
+	* doc/posix-functions/accept.texi (accept): Likewise.
+	* doc/posix-functions/socket.texi (socket): Likewise.
+	* lib/mbrtowc.c: Likewise.
+
 	maint.mk: prohibit use of "can not"
 	* top/maint.mk (sc_prohibit_can_not): New rule.
 	Writing "can not" (rather than "cannot") is too common.  Prohibit it.
