| Aug 16, 2011 at 19:40 | comment | added | RGW1976 | I kindly disagree Colin. "Break off" in that sense doesn't necessarily mean to cancel something already in progress. If I break off plans you and I have to meet at the bar for a drink, the event hasn't actually started yet—though your assessment is 100% accurate in regards to OP's original query. | |
