It's been suggested by two people that it isn't useful for me to contribute English sentences with the same meaning.

[#8586894] Tom doesn't need glasses anymore. (CK) *audio*
[#8586886] Tom no longer needs glasses. (CK) *audio*

One of these people even accused me of doing this to "inflate my sentence count."

I wonder if you, too, think this isn't useful and that I should stop doing this.

I think that's extremely useful. That's one of the things that distinguishes Tatoeba from
other bilingual or multilingual corpora.

Here's a lot of Danish translations of the sentence "Tom was very drunk.":
#4211106

2 sentences with the same meaning is a kind of paraphrasing, I think.
