As was the case last night, we are trying to get into strictly defining terms that have ordinary meanings in the law. The word 'some', as in 'some employees', would be considered under its usual meaning. I think it would be fair to assume that we're talking about more than one, because, if we were talking about one, the word 'one' would be used. So I think it would be fair to assume that we're talking about more than one, but, of course, the word 'some' has a usual meaning that would be applied by the commission.
