Then the button texts don't convey properly what happens when pressing them. If I haven't seen a word for quite a while and encountering it I choose option 2, "Barely correct answer, the interval was way too long" then the second part of the sentence suggests the next interval will be shorter, because I told the software " the interval was way too long", therefore I don't want the same or longer interval for the same word, I obviously want a shorter one. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
