A lot of duplicates from meaning() #63

Open thewithz opened 6 years ago

thewithz commented 6 years ago

When using the Vocabulary.meaning() function there is an enormous amount of duplicates. In some cases like the word cat, some meanings are duplicated 4 or even 5 times. Is there any way to only display one of the similar meanings?

@TheWithz The meanings are being pulled from an API and all the meanings you see are those being returned by the API.

That doesn't mean the responses inherently can't be edited or improved by vocabulary. If they are really exactly the same, it may not be that difficult to filter out duplicates. I think this issue needs an explicit example.

tenorz007 commented 6 years ago

Perhaps an explicit example can provide more information as I don't think they are exactly the same.
