a refreshing weekend

[niue]

Hi! I watched an English education YouTube clip, and a native speaker in the clip said the following:

1. I had a refhreshing weekend. (Wrong)
2. I feel refreshed after the weekend. (Correct)

*Source:

However, I've found some native speakers say #1.
What do you think? Do you agree with the native speaker in the above clip?
I'd appreciate any feedback.

It (refreshing weekend) is not very common, but it's not impossible.

Can you post a link to this clip, please.

Remember to capitalise official names correctly. It's "YouTube".

Sure. I just added the link to the clip.

Sorry. I just changed them. Thanks.

I don't agree that it's wrong.

I don't agree that it's wrong.

Except the misspelling of "refreshing"!

Oh, sorry. There was a typo.

'A refreshing weekend' is quite common in AmE.

Additionally, her argument is contradicted by multiple dictionaries which do list a definition of 'invigorating' as a possible meaning of 'refreshing'. Her argument is based on a very narrow and selective definition.

Cambridge for example even lists the 'invigorating' definition BEFORE the 'new' definition.
Macmillan does the same thing.
Collins does list the 'new outlook' idea first.

She's flat-out incorrect in stating it's wrong.

I don't get why she says what she says, either. I think 'a refreshing weekend' is quite nice, actually.
