What do you eat for breakfast? I want to find something easy, tasty and quick to eat which will give me energy and keep me going for a good long while in the morning. Tell me what you eat or make suggestions for me. (I don't really get on well with cold cereal. I'm bad at keeping fresh milk in the house. I often eat things like bread with cold meats and fruit.)

Pet Pedant Peeve (first in an ongoing series)
Saturday, 26 April 2008 12:31 pmSeen twice this morning already - nowhere on LJ, so I'm not getting at you guys - tenants for tenets.
A tenant is a person who lives in or, especially, rents a house or other dwelling.
A tenet is a principle, opinion, doctrine or similar, espoused by a person or group.
"The tenants who rent my house make a lot of noise and the neighbours are complaining."
"Prayer and charitable giving are two of the core tenets of Islam."
These two words have entirely different meanings and it is worth keeping them separate.
