Opinionated pet peeve: "just can't" where "can't just" is correct.

"You can't just do that": there are formalities or prerequisites that I believe you're skipping

"You just can't do that": it's wrong for you to do that, and it should be obvious why it's wrong

@noelle I think both are correct.. I cant find anything to suggest one is more correct than the other.

@freemo each is correct in its own circumstance. It just irritates me to see them used like they're interchangeable.
