doesn't sound right

"Have you finished with the book?" sounds more natural to me.

> This could just be a dialect difference...

Even so, what's the point if the sentence is not adopted?

As far as I understand, we're not supposed to change things that someone might find natural, because we want a corpus rich in diversity. So theoretically we cannot change anything before we ask all the native speakers in the world.

I'm not really sure if this is a good policy, concerning the fact that almost all the users of our sentences seem to simply use all the sentences.

I'm still not sure what I should do with all those Japanese sentences that I personally don't like.

I think it's most important to let all the users know that they shoudn't trust all the sentences here. I especially think we should tell the admins of the websites that use our data that they're spreading hundreds of thousands of sentences that harmful for learners.

I also wish there were a search function that learners can really use.
