Virgilijus

For the longest time I thought your name was Ira Plato (and was ever so slightly disappointed it wasn't, if you forgive me).

How far ahead do you guys plan episodes/topics? Do you have to talk with the experts involved first to make sure they are social/linguistic enough to make a good interview?

Why is it sometimes that shortening 'can not' to 'can't' changes the meaning of the sentence? The other day I woke up and was thinking of my schedule for the day and thought 'I could go running in the morning. Or I can not go running and go to the grocery store instead.' But, if I shorten that to 'can't' (Or I can't go running...) then it means something else.

What gives?
