Don Jacob:
not to go off topic and no offense


but why the fuck do europeans say "i'm going on holiday"  .......i can't even go into detail how wrong and weird that sounds. maybe i'm just ignorant but isn't a holiday an observed day that every one has off (for example Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving) as opposed to a vacation which is a personal day or days off.


again no offense but it's just weird, it's like saying "i'm giving a dump" as opposed to saying "i'm taking a Dump"  to me.

The Watcher:
why would i take offence? i'm australian not european

Don Jacob:

Many Europeans with basic English skills thinks that holiday & vacation is synonyms..
And I bet some Americans with poor English skills may think the same.

Many people don't even know that holiday is the words holy & day combined..
From the dictionary:
2.  A religious feast day; a holy day.
