Reply to comment by [deleted] in Halloween and 4th of July always occur on the same day of the week. by BlueSpeedMouse17

On the other hand, Easter, Mardi Gras and Thanksgiving are each always on the same day of the week.

What OP meant is not what OP actually said. Day of the week is fundamentally different from date.

This is the correct "OP Meant".

then, for clarity, OP should have added the words "as each other" to the sentence.

Still wrong. What OP meant is that they're weekend holidays, where most participation is not on the day itself but the more convenient weekend around the holiday; thus the statement of them always being on the same day of the week.

So he wrote something that was utterly failed to say anything close to what he meant?
