From a Sunday lunch through dinner Wednesday evening.

Not a purposeful fast, I just had a huge hours-long meal of endless samples of steak, lamb, and chicken at a Brazilian Steakhouse. Also several large salads, and a small dessert.

So anyway, I just wasn’t hungry for days after that. I didn’t have any constipation, no drop in energy, so I went about my business as usual, but without eating for a few days.

It’s definitely a mistake, but I think it has slipped by because spell check wouldn’t have a reason to mark it, and not everyone uses grammar check, so they think it’s correct to spell it out by the sound of the contraction.

In American English:

I left them know

I’m just leaving you know

No, no, a thousand times no!

You LET them know. You’re just LETTING me know.

Also, they were driving and hit the breaks. Their car needed new break pads.

Just letting y’all know, it’s BRAKES that stop a vehicle.

If the vehicle breaks, it’ll stop, but that’s not the system built into the car that makes it stop on purpose at the press of a pedal.

Oh yeah! Good addition

Speaking to those in the U.S., Your local library has a huge collection of DVDs. Your local thrift shop and eBay have blu ray players (most of which will upscale DVDs during playback) for cheap.

Star wars and Lord of the Rings

I’ve seen enough clips and overviews and “facts about” clips to understand that I am not interested enough to invest the time it would take to watch either series. The story of the production of Star Wars is very interesting, the actual story the movies tell, not so much.
