So, in effect, you have "most current version" and "old current version"? Do you happen to work in a highly regulated industry?

At my work, we have far too many current version of my user guides floating around. We use "Most current" to mean the latest and greatest.

Subject: RE: Most Current Versions
Is the "most" in "most current version" redundant? Why not say, "current version"? Please forgive me if I appear to be acting like a pedantic ass. That isn't my intention. I really do not see a semantic difference between the two phrases. Is there a subtle difference that I am missing?

Hi All:
What are the most current versions of Microsoft Manual of Style and the Chicago Manual of Style?
Thanks
