    english.stackexchange.com/questions/115367

    Both "w/" and "w/o" were common, very informal, U.S. abbreviations in correspondence, and in tight spots on data tables, until recently.

    english.stackexchange.com/questions/607759/use-of-disapproved-vs-unapproved-vs...

    The logic is: the signer is indicating "yes - approval is given" or "no - approval is not given". Approved/Denied => matches the logic. Approved/Disapproved => disapproval could be considered more of a personal opinion. Approved/Unapproved => unapproved could mean as mentioned in the comments (i.e. no decision yet given) or alternatively the ...

    english.stackexchange.com/questions/10684/if-you-are-talking-on-behalf-of-you...

    I looked at a bunch of style guides to see what they have to say on this subject. The vast majority of them dedicate at least a paragraph to the distinction (or nondistinction) between "in behalf of" and "on behalf of"—but not one addresses the question of how to handle "on behalf of" when used by a speaker to refer to another person and to him- or herself.

  8. Is there an English word for "awaiting approval"?

    english.stackexchange.com/questions/23775

    I don't see anything wrong with awaiting approval in a general sense, though, as suggested above (and in NGrams), pending does seem the most appropriate. Share. Improve this answer. Follow. edited May 4, 2011 at 15:47. answered May 4, 2011 at 15:37.

    english.stackexchange.com/questions/338096/what-is-the-difference-between-sqq...

    First, as FF says, often sqq (or "et seq") is used in legal contexts. But I think that's a consequence of the distinction between a "folio" and a "page". I think the major difference is that "et seq" (sqq) is means "the following [abstract] sections", where "ff." means more literally "the following [well-defined] folios". – Dan Bron.

  10. Correct usage of lbs. as in "pounds" of weight

    english.stackexchange.com/questions/113142

    The abbreviation "lb" comes from the Latin libra, which is short for libra pondo, or "pound weight." And in any case, the plural of libra would be librae, not libras. And, again in scientific papers, there is always a space between the quantity and the unit.

  11. Short answer: request date. You can see the request date in the rightmost column. request date = the date on which the request was made. requested date = the date someone asked about, for instance, if there is a request to send the date of birth of some person, you can respond this way: Please find the requested date in the attached document.
