According to both thefreedictionary.com and merriam-webster.com, "nevermind" is not a word. It's technically wrong to type "nevermind" and only correct to type "never mind".

That's being said, I always type "nevermind". But I shall be careful not to from now on.

Nevermind is a slang word, but in that case it's a Noun. Ex: Pay him no nevermind.

If you want to say, "Never mind, I figured it out on my own." that would be a verb use, so it would be two words.

Is there a reason you couldn't look this up in the dictionary to find out it's not a word? What do you mean, "do you always have to use nevermind"? Where did you get the idea there was a rule about how to use a nonexistent word?

You can use may absolute favorite... "Oh Just ****ing Forget It". It gets the same point across and although it may be longer to say, it just sounds a **** ton better

Webster's New World College 4th Edition says differently.
However, m-w.com shows it to be a compound word.

I guess it depends on your source material.

Forget about "nevermind". How do we stop people from using that other non-word: "Alot"?

My spell check does not tell me that nevermind is incorrect, but looking it up tells me, very correctly I think, that the two word and one word forms have different connotations. Never mind is more imperative, while nevermind is less formal and means forget-about-it. (Funny, on this page, spell check is saying nevermind is incorrect!) Also, what is wrong with never you mind? Not slang, it seems grammatically correct to me. Depending upon whether the emphasis is on you, or mind, the connotation changes. Again, with the two separate words the meaning is imperative, as an adult, for instance, speaking to a child, or an inferior. But what do I know? I'm just a retired construction worker with enough time on my hands to engage in this sort of conversation.
