to confer a temporal sense

First of all, I want to clarify something. When I say "native speakers", I would be refering to "traditional" native speakers. In my experience, even about a half of all the native speakers I've met speak or write terrible English. But English is a constantly changing language. What is not commonly accepted usage now may become commonly accepted in a few years. Let's go back on topic. I did not mean one is not allowed to say it, nor is it "banned". Linguists don't write out every rule about every word, so we have to rely on logic and sense to decide what's good and what's not. The problem with "the whole holiday" in the original sentence is that "holiday" is not commonly used in a "temporal" sense, so it's better to find some other expression to get around it. One can still use "the whole holiday" to refer to the embodiment of all festivity and spirit around the holiday. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 99.231.10.180

it strictly in a temporal sense.
