Some?
"The event took place some five years ago" In my estimation, the meaning of this "some" is equal to that of "approximate"? Does this sound right?

Thanks very much! I have one more question. Do "The event took place some five years ago" and "The event took place about five years ago" have a difference;formal/informal or something.
