That a bit harsh.
No such rule here in fact that's illegal. Employers can encourage you to take leave but you can't lose the legal minimum leave.
I have over 30 days owning and no plans until xmas.

If you worked somewhere for 20 years you could easily save up 200 days of vacation. Would it be fair to the employer to take 200 days of vacation all in a row?
It depends on the company in the US, some companies allow you to rollover days and some don't. Just depends on the company.

When I worked in Germany we had six weeks vacation per year and we could accumulate it up to six months. One of my colleagues did just that, he saved up six months vacation and then went hiking in the Himalayas for most of it. He came back with a heck of a tan and a lot of really boring stories of the fantastic views he saw every day.

If Germany weren't terrible in every other way, I might move there.

Here in California, vacation earned cannot be taken away.
However, the employer can set a maximum amount you are allowed to have "on the books" at any point in time.
Once you hit that limit you stop accruing any more.
Once you use some and go below the threshold you do not get the vacation you would have otherwise accrued during that time.

Despite the catastrophisers it looks like it'll barely graze the coast and will pretty much dissipate immediately it makes landfall according to the forecast. Not quite the crack of doom yet! Good day to go visit your mother 20 miles inland though!

This is so true! When I moved to the US, I found I had to simplify my English as many could not understand the range of vocabulary I was using - for example, nobody seemed to know what "promulgate" or "penultimate" meant!

Perhaps you're hanging out with the wrong crowd. 
Then again, some people just use different words to say the same thing. Doesn't mean anything.

I'm telling you for the second last time, stop telling everyone about this!
I try and use a hard word (i.e. everyday word in the UK  ) at least once a day in a random email to discombobulate at least one person a day.
