typo in 00176880-r "repeatedly" #136

Closed vcvpaiva closed 5 years ago

00176880-r repeatedly (several time; "it must be washed repeatedly")

Surely this should be several times!

Yes, I have read the contributing guidelines but would rather not deal with the whole forking/pulling/committing cycle, if this is allowed. (I'd rather not mess things up through my incompetence with github processes. But if this is not allowed, no worries. just close the issue.)

Thanks for this.

I have updated the contribution guidelines to cover contributing by making issues... thanks for the reminder :)

Thanks! one more thing: if you want to classify the kinds of issues, as in the contributing guidelines, I think you need a class "other" or "misc", because the kinds you have so far are not enough. For instance, there are many synsets that are too English. they might be ok in a monolingual thesaurus, but will not work if we want to have parallel corpora from a multilingual one. A gloss that is an idiom is an example of what I mean, e.g. 01369346-v wear_out, bust, break, fall_apart, wear (go to pieces; "The lawn mower finally broke"; "The gears wore out"; "The old chair finally fell apart completely")

Hi, thanks. I would rather avoid a misc category as the tags should indicate the action that needs to be taken to fix the problem, which misc does not do. In the case you give it may be definition as the definition needs to be updated to better capture a clear sense (that would work cross-linguistically) or something like synset split to make two clearer concepts out of the one existing concept.
