There is a difference between 'approve' and 'approve of'. 'Approve of' is perfectly ok the way I used it. Obviously it doesn't matter one way or the other, but I also don't approve of killing civilians. 'Approve of' doesn't imply anything about whether or not one's approval matters. However, in this instance it does make a difference, since my disapproval means I won't use these abbreviations. -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Don Williams > Sent: 31 August 2006 08:22 > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: Re: Kite -- acronyms > > I think 'approve' is the wrong word.
