Ask HN: Holiday, English or English? Should holiday be used in the American English sense or the British English sense? As a US English speaker, it annoys me when people who sound like me say 'on holiday' (as in "I'm going on holiday"). I think it's a British English pretention and is therefore pretentious. I don't care if a UK English or Australian/New Zealand English sounding person says it. Am I the only one who dislikes this? |
