In the man page for GNU screen, you can find the following:

"-O   selects a more optimal output mode for your terminal  rather  than
     true  VT100  emulation (only affects auto-margin terminals without
     `LP').  This can also be set in your .screenrc by specifying  `OP'
     in a "termcap" command."

My concern is that if something is "optimal", it cannot be
improved, so there is nothing "more optimal" than other, it would be better to use the
construction "selects an optimal output mode for your terminal".

Thank you!
