These tags (listed on the "Improve sentences" page) are rather inconsistent:
@change - The sentence needs to be changed.
@check - The sentence needs to be checked.
@Needs Native Check - The sentence needs to be checked by a native speakers.
OK - The sentence is considered correct by at least one person.
I would expect them all to be lowercase identifiers preceded by an "@" sign and with spaces replaced by underscores or hyphens. I would have probably used something like:
@change
@check
@check-by-native
@ok
Is there really a need to indicate that a sentence should be checked by a native? Doesn't "@check" imply that anyway?
The 'traditional' distiction is like this:
@check = something may be wrong with this sentence (someone reported it, but wasn't sure),
@NNC = the sentence was written by a non-native speaker who is not confident in his/her skills,
OK doesn't need @, because @ means 'something needs to be done with this sentence' (e.g. @delete, @check, @translation check, anything), while OK is exactly the opposite.
I see.
