Glosses containing 'or' #109

Open jmccrae opened 5 years ago

jmccrae commented 5 years ago

Many glosses seem to refer to two distinct concepts, e.g.,

10148446-n (Interlingual Index: i90200) (n) monster, behemoth, colossus, giant, goliath

someone or something that is abnormally large and powerful

These should probably be split into new synsets

I agree. Almost all cases of OR in the glosses cause confusion. But they are so frequent that a second thought about the implications of this proposal is needed. This should not be made case-by-case.
