CORRECT:
目之所及 mu4zhi1suo3ji2 everything the eyes see

Thanks!

If you click on the definition you can edit it yourself :p.

Also if you tick "submit as correction" other people will get the benefits too.

try clicking on the definition, correct it and then check "share as correction" or use "feedback" in the right corner at the bottom...

I tried editing in the list I was making. It wouldn't let me.

If you want to edit in a list you must first add the words, hit the save button. You can then click on the characters to get a popup box where you can change the definition/add mnemonics etc.

When practicing you just click on the definition though.

Yeah, it's such a hassle I usually wait until it comes up in practice. By then, I usually forget the definition is wrong or needs improvement.

Sure would be nice to get to the pop-up while editing!

Is there anyway to see whether a corrected definition has been accepted generally, or indeed to see if one has been left using an old obsolete version of the definition of one's own after someone else has corrected it better?

We think it'd be too complex to be able to edit words while editing the words in a list, as every clicking and focusing action is already used in editing mode. So we are intentionally not putting it in.

wispfrog: no, there's not. What would you want to see in those terms? We don't want to overwrite one's custom edit, in case one does want that definition instead of a later correction.

I was just imagining some sort of small flag next to a definition that was custom, and the ability to revert it back to non-custom somehow.

But its a shame about the per-list custom definitions, though I can certainly see how the user interface would be awkward.

I was thinking of putting together a vocabulary list for Go (Wei2 Qi2) and that has similar issues - particularly as a lot of the commonly accepted English terms are actually Japanese.

Maybe the custom definitions actually want to become like the mnemonics and have a voting mechanism etc.

I guess one could imagine a setting to always take mnemonics/custom defs by preference from a given other user perhaps, for this sort of case. Then one could enable if only while studying such lists.

You can delete your custom definition and it'll fill it back with the default definition. I'm not sure about adding a flag indicating that it's a custom definition, but I'll put in a tooltip so that you can see what the original is. (Unmodified definitions won't have a tooltip.) That'll go up in a few days.

Doing voting for custom definitions is too complex. Having it so that there's one Skritter definition and then personal custom definitions is about as complicated as we want to go there.

Great, that sounds like at least half the solution! I'd still like to see custom definitions visible as being such in some way though (font?), which would be possible while adding a tooltip.

The specialist vocabulary use case is difficult I guess. I don't know how many existing word lists qualify as such, or would benefit?
