It still works the way it used to on my Mac with Firefox, but not with Chrome, Safari, or Opera.

1. People can release their sentences.

A number of members do this when they contribute in a non-native language, so a native speaker can adopt them.

2. Many of the English and Japanese "orphans" are sentences imported from the Tanaka Corpus.

I noticed a change in the copy-and-pasting.
I wonder if this was an intentional change.

Before, when we copied translations, we got the 3-letter code for the language.

See this comment for an example.

https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentenc...omment-1158254

Now, we don't.

See this comment for an example.

https://tatoeba.org/eng/sentenc...omment-1160733


I think having the 3-letter code was useful, especially when multiple languages were involved, and when viewing in the comments stream, rather than on each individual page.

** 10 English Words Per Day **

http://bit.ly/tatoebadaily

The 10 words are roughly in the order of frequency of use, based on the NGSL, NAWL and TSL. I divided the words into 10 groups by level and included one word from each of those levels every day for 366 days.

This page changes at 0:00 UTC every day.

Perhaps you may want to bookmark this page, or copy-and-paste the link into your profile, and visit it every day for suggested searches.

This part that is confusing will be eliminated when this github issue is resolved.

** Selecting Sentences Using English Verbs **

http://tatoeba.ueuo.com/eng-verbs.html

This page has a list of verbs, sorted by their frequency of use in spoken English.

The search links have all forms of the verbs, so even irregular verbs such as swim-swam-swum get search results for all forms.

I think what we are doing is rating sentences on a 2-value scale, OK or not OK, with the 3rd option being "unsure" which is like "undecided" on an opinion poll.

define:rate
https://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Arate
* assign a standard or value to (something) according to a particular scale.



define:review
https://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Areview
* assess (something) formally with the intention of instituting change if necessary.
* write a critical appraisal of (a book, play, film, etc.) for publication in a newspaper or magazine.

define:rating
https://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Arating
* a classification or ranking of someone or something based on a comparative assessment of their quality, standard, or performance.

* Members That Have Added Over 1,000 Ratings *

It might be nice to hear the opinions of some of the members who use this function a lot.

[edit]

* Some Stats *

In last Saturday's exported data, ...
1,039,935 sentences had ratings
2,306 of these had "not OK" ratings.
6,457 of these had "unsure".
3,401 of these sentences had ratings by more than one member.

Some more brainstorming ideas.

quality
correctness
judgment
accuracy
appraisal
evaluation
good-or-not
proofreading (TRANG's idea)

My preference would be "rating", since I might say "I rated it OK" or "I gave it an OK rating."
I wouldn't say "I reviewed it OK", "I proofread it OK" or "I gave it an OK proofreading."

The word "review" could also be used for leaving comments on apps and products, so this word would have the same problem that TRANG mentioned above for "rating."

Personally, I only use the "OK" rating to let members know that the sentence is OK and ignore the other two ratings.

The "not OK" rating is something I don't use, since if something isn't OK, it might become so after leaving a comment.

There is a possibility that some members would not rate a grammatically-correct and natural-sounding sentence OK if the sentence was not factually correct or if they felt that the sentence was vulgar, pornographic, archaic, old-fashioned or otherwise not appropriate for their own use. I'm not sure this is really a problem since that's what professional proofreaders do.
