In this article it is written "It was officially sanctioned by the U.S. Postal Service." Does this mean that Fred J. Wiseman's flight was fined by the US Postal Service?. I can't find any articles or other sources stating that Wiseman's flight was penalized. Is there any mistake? Please someone answer. Thanks! Phong Dang (talk) 07:50, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Darwin Naz What do you think about this? Phong Dang (talk) 10:00, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello, sanction is one of those interesting words which can have opposite meanings. So when the article says Wiseman's flight was sanctioned by the U.S. Postal Service, it means it was officially authorised or approved. See Contronym for more info and examples.

 * @Darwin Naz If it was "sanctioned" by the USPS, wouldn't that make it official? DHN (talk) 21:21, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
