I'm just saying through all the arguments about transitive and intransitive verbs, nobody seemed to have looked it up. I'm not taking sides on this one. I recently used "thusly" in a report at work and got my ass handed to me for it. My grasp of the English language has been thwarted by casual conversation and reading on the Internet.
helping is only gonna cause more problems
the only reason there was any argument is because people don't know how to read a dictionary. end of discussion.

Transitive versus Intransitive Verbs.
Not as difficult as some people think. A transitive verb takes a direct object: it shows action upon someone or something. Intransitive verbs take no direct object; they need only a subject to make a sentence.
Some transitive verbs: Hit (you hit something or someone; you don't just hit); climb (you don't just climb; you climb something); and bring (bring what?). Intransitive verbs: sleep (you don't sleep something; you just sleep); and fall (while you can fall down the stairs, you don't fall the stairs).
Black Lazerus (10:06:56 PM): vacation noun 1 a holiday period between terms in universities and law courts. 2 chiefly N. amer. a holiday3 the act of vacating. > verb commanly used in north marica only to take a holiday

Was this an 8 page thread about grammar?
yea, that's why the topic is titled "aruba"
Can you just admit you are wrong?
Your own fucking dictionary (as deficient as it may be) said it was a verb, and not just any verb but a verb that was used COMMONLY in (of all places) NORTH AMERICA where oddly enough, WE FUCKING LIVE.
So the argument from Arpi and Laz is that "vacation" is only a verb when used in its past tense form?
