Cleaning crews need time to clean all the rooms after morning checkout. Some hotels have early check-in available if you ask, if they have rooms already available.

Without consent, it would definitely be unethical.
Concision seems like it should be a word for that which is made concise rather than the brevity itself. An incision is the cut made by incising.
No, I read yesterday (Lightning McQueen) as juxtaposed with today (Thomas the Tank Engine), as if you were implying that Lightning McQueen predated Thomas the Tank Engine and TTTE was a newish show.
I’m not sure I understand the “yesterday’s” part. Thomas the Tank Engine predates Cars by decades.
"An apostrophe followed by “s” was often used to mark a plural;[4] specifically, the Oxford Companion to the English Language notes that
There was formerly a respectable tradition (17th to 19th centuries) of using the apostrophe for noun plurals, especially in loanwords ending in a vowel (as in … Comma’s are used, Philip Luckcombe, 1771) and in the consonants s, z, ch, sh, (as in waltz’s and cotillions, Washington Irving, 1804)…"
You have it backwards. It actually used to be the standard.
“Until the 18th century, the apostrophe was extensively used to indicate plural forms. Its use for indicating plural “possessive” forms was not standard before the middle of the 19th century.”

It’s locally called the FloRo and the sign often has jokes like this posted.
I’ve had dreams where I’ve pulled out my phone to take a picture of something beautiful that I want to remember and then I wake up upset that I didn’t actually take the picture.
And now the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.
