Thanks for that perspective.

Hard to disagree with it.

Thanks. I did not know that tidbit.

It’s not a National nor Federal holiday, but tons of people have been celebrating one “cutesy contraction” holiday for hundreds of years in one way or another: Halloween! :-D

[enumerated]

You’ve made a good point.

I guess I’m so used to Halloween I didn’t even remember it’s a contraction!

But in my defense, I wasn’t saying there’s anything wrong with contractions. I’ve used seven already and I haven’t even gotten started (eight).

(I still think Juneteenth is dumb sounding). :-)
