Sí / No / Ns/Nc

Hola ¿Qué significa ''Ns/Nc''?

Lo veo en una encuesta

Me parece ser parecido a "I don't care/no opinion"

In peace.

Alone. (better)

While you were on vacations?

Some vacations!

I agree with Chileno: "Leave my head alone"/"Leave my head out of this".

So, let my head alone. Thanks

It was just a few days before I went on holidays, but there was nothing in my head (do I have an empty head? ).

Do you say vacations instead of holidays?

Vacations = vacaciones

Holiday = feriado - asueto - festivo

Yes, I think so, but is weird that vacations is not the same in both countries regardless of usage...

In AmE it would be:
  • Leave my head alone.
  • Vacation. (singular, not plural)
ir de vacaciones = to go on vacation
