"Can't" is fine. "in-proper" is not

I'm not surprised you asked that, because you obviously don't even know that "in-proper" is not even a word. The word is "improper". BTW, "can't" is proper English.

Can't is considered extremely proper in American English.

Can't is perfectly proper in conversation and informal writing.

It's proper. It's a contraction of cannot.

I believe it's proper. It's a contraction meaning "can not."
Like "He can't go to the movies."
Unless contractions are considered "in-proper," then I say "can't" is proper.

if you want to be more proper, then you should use "cannot". like someone already said, "can't" is considered slang if anything. also, it's "improper" not "in-proper".
