nevermind

Just drop it

Nevermind as a single word is nonstandard but increasingly common, especially in casual writing.

It functions as a dismissal—withdrawing a question or statement: Nevermind, I found it.

The standard spelling remains two words: never mind.

The single-word form gained cultural visibility as the title of Nirvana's 1991 album.
