All are fine, provided that the minimum commitment requirements are met.

I have expressed my frustration over my own linguistical shortcomings already earlier, but Spm's example seems to me a telling one. I really had no idea about these underlying meanings behind the word 'disapprove' - or that level of difference between disliking something.
So once again, sorry if I have offended someone, but as that example quite beautifully shows, it's more often than not unintentional from my part.
Still I don't think we (the ordos) played a good game back there in the last one, but that's another matter...
