EDICT
Michael Cash
I took a look at the Edict server for the first time yesterday. Quite
impressive.
Just for giggles I tried looking up a couple of words which are truck driver
jargon (not slang) and found that they are not included.
Would it be possible to submit suggested entries? Specifically, I tried to look
up 'aori' and 'ateita'.
How would one go about presenting suggested entries? Any particular format they
should be in?
Thanks

Now that doesn't surprise me at all.

I used to prefer new entries in the native EDICT format, e.g.
潰す [つぶす] /to smash/to waste/
or
さようならホームラン /game-ending home run (baseball)/
That way is still fine, but these days EDICT is generated from another
format, which is also used to create the XML/Unicode JMDict file, so
any rational format which separates the kanji portion (if any), the reading
and the meaning(s) is fine.
I am afraid I have no idea what 'aori' and 'ateita' are.

Neither do I, but I'd like to guess.
Aori: open road
Ateita: fender bender

Eeeekk! Posting in evil Shi(f)t-JIS! (Goes through 5-step process of ethnic

Thanks. I'll construct EDICT entries around them.
