Flag "let's us do" or "let's me do"

Some people think "let's" an expression, and don't get that "let's" states for "let us"

So they write:

• let's us do
• let's me do

I was positive I'd made a generic issue for mixing up lets and let's and was going to link to it, but I must not have completed it because I can't find it (-:

May I suggest a clearer wording? "Expression" is ambiguous. I would say some people think "let's" is a verb. Specifically a third-person singular present. But most people don't know the linguistics jargon of course. "Let's" is a contraction of a verb and pronoun and also has a name in linguistics jargon that I can't quite remember... "Hortative"!

So maybe we could use the linguistics jargon here in a github issue but not in harper settings and documentation.

Maybe: `Some people think "let's" is just a regular verb, and don't get that "let's" is a contraction of "let us".

I might add that native English speakers are largely confused by the -s and -'s suffixes and often add the apostrophe when not sure. This goes for its/it's and plural nouns as much as for lets/let's. Non-native speakers learning from native-speaker examples are certainly not aided by this.

There is already a PR opened for this rule

I think the discussion should continue there

#452 (comment)

Your points are valid, but re-qualifying the issue description now that something is already coded seems the wrong place

[ccoVeille]

I opened #470 because I felt a new problems emerged when talking about the "let's pronoun" that is described and discussed here.

Please note, it's because I like to sort things. At the end everything might be merged in the same linter, maybe.

So please discuss about "lets verb" and "let verb" in
