Well to me, the word actually means about, or a rough estimate! Also, how can you sit in your sheltered little World and say that about the economy. Of course todays economy will determine whether my approximation is just about right or way off the mark. Particularly in these times where the pound can lose 3c or 4c on the dollar and gain 5 or 6c just 24 hours later. Heres a slogan from a few years back that you should be able to identify with in more ways than one, "ITS THE ECONOMY STOOPID!) And before you become pedantic again and correct me for the wrong spelling of stupid, I meant to spell it that way, so don't bother!
