The question is useable for what? A paperweight? Stefan's photos are quite revealing thus a picture says a thousand words. (At least before they invented photoshop). Often times, I find that people with English as a second language have different uses of American words such as "OK". I don't know Stefen but it does appear that he is overstating the obvious.
