I expect you mean cannae, not canny. Canny means nice or shrewd.
You expect wrong, spelling can be either or, a bit like jobbie/jobby

Excellent
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Not at all, the 40M+ residents of England get no say on Scottish independence - that is apparently decided by the 4M or so Scots.
Anyway having a father born in Invenesshire and a mother born in Kent my allegiances are a bit torn!
Regardless of that AFAIK "cant" is spelt "can't" either side of the border.
Coupes because stunning!

I thought the same thing
Maybe "cannot" to avoid confusion?
