2 “Oxford learners Dictionary” states that “relief” (at least when it means removal of anxiety/pain) is an uncountable noun. Then why do we use the indefinite article in this phrase? Are there any other phrases where “relief” requires an article? articles usage share | improve this question asked 21 hours ago Zak 357 1 9 add a comment  |  2

2 As a European I was quite shocked to hear that people in the USA have to take an unpaid vacation day from work to be able to take part in elections. Is that really true? So do people really get their salary reduced in a month where they take part in an election? Can an employer even refuse to give a vacation day for voting? Does it have to be a full day? Or could it also be only a few hours? Why are elections not held on the weekend in the USA as it is common in Europe? politics voting share | improve this question asked 4 hours ago asmaier 242 2 5
