How do you do a word find/replace?
:%s/find/replace/g
Will replace find with replace in the whole document (%) and be greedy (g)
i.e. replace more than one occurrence on a line.
Of course you are correct;

... it'll replace every occurrence of the search string with the replaced
string, which may be more than you want. For example, %s/Cant/Can/g will also
convert Canterbury to Canerbury.
And the final peice of the puzzle is, if you want to match the token
'Cant' and not 'Canterbury',
you'll be needing
:%s/\<Cant\>/Can/g
