Sentences wanted

Is it likely that if I add English vocabulary items to the list any native English speaker will write sentences to them?
I'm asking because I'm planing on adding some as I'm reading a book and I'm collecting unknown words from it. But I don't want to bother with that if there's no avail.

Also I saw a few words in Cyrillic writing among the English words.

Some of my English words have been added, some have not. I do not know whether this has been due to them being vocabulary words or by blind luck. Many English contributions use quite basic vocabulary, but more varied sentences do exist in the corpus.

I usually add unknown words (when reading something on a computer) and then once a while go through my vocabulary and remove the words I understand, leaving the ones I do not, and checking any sentences with those in case they help understanding.

There are quite a lot of English vocabulary items, so in any case it will take quite some time before any particular one is addressed with multiple sentences, unless one gets lucky.

Thanks for replying! :)
I guess I'll add a few more then and see what will happen.
