Pax vobiscum,

I had to pull up a dictionary to know what Pax (=Peace) you are talking
about..
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pax_(liturgy))
"In Christian <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity>liturgy
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liturgy>, "the /*Pax*/" is an
abbreviation of the Latin
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesiastical_Latin>salutations "/pax
vobis/" ("peace to you") or "/pax vobiscum/" ("peace with you"), which
are used in the Catholic
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church>Mass
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_(liturgy)>and Lutheran
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutheranism>Divine Service
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Service_(Lutheran)>."
I do think (without any expressed opinion here) that there's is olny a
small percentage of people who did know withoutout searching the
internet (of the dictionary at home).
Greetings from Holland,
"*Holland*is a region and former province on the western coast of the
Netherlands <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands>. The name
/Holland/is also frequently used informally to refer to the whole of the
country of the Netherlands. This usage is commonly accepted in other
countries,^[2] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland#cite_note-MoFA-2>
and sometimes employed by the Dutch themselves.^[2]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland#cite_note-MoFA-2> However, some
in the Netherlands, particularly those from regions outside Holland, may
find it undesirable^[2]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland#cite_note-MoFA-2> or
misrepresentative to use the term for the whole country."
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland)
Yes, i'm one of the people who do find Holland misrepresentative for
'the Netherlands' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands)
But, since drifting away from topic,
