What Does This Mean?
A common misspelling of canon in fan discussion, meaning the official, established facts of a fictional work, as opposed to fanon or headcanon; it is easily confused with the weapon, and is listed in dictionaries as fandom slang for canon.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""Someone wrote 'that's cannon' in the comments and half the thread corrected the spelling.""
