RE: RE> thumbs-up symbol

You can also use this symbol as a hitch-hiker from the roadside to indicate that
you'd like a lift (or a ride if you're in the US) so you'd need to be careful
with the various ambiguities.  Perhaps a check-mark is a better option for OK. 
Any comments?

Regards

Steve.

I believe in most part of China, the thumb's up means very good. And I don't
know anyone using thumb's down there.
