Hi Bill
As I already replied to Richard:
It seems you missed my point.
I am NOT talking about the LC user base modifying the Dictionary we all use.
I specifically said: MY Dictionary.
In other words, just my own copy of the Dictionary on my machine.
I apologize if I did not make that more clear.
Thanks,
Larry

Folks,
To me, allowing the entire LC user base to modify the dictionary that we
all use, will cause more problems than it solves. Richard's idea to form a
team of experienced live coders to at least review additions and changes
and brainstorm improvements is a great idea. Also, a feature that allows
users to make private notes is also a great one. Perhaps, taking it a bit
further, users' private notes might contain a button to submit them to the
dictionary committee for review and inclusion in the master dictionary.
An important goal, I think, is to consider feedback from both experienced
and relatively new users who perhaps use a different vocabulary for their
desired outcome and can't find their way around the huge number of
commands and intricacies.
This list also contains a wealth of questions that the documentation team
might address. The challenge is to try to get into the mindset of those
who are, in real time, trying to solve coding problems.
Best,
Bill

I appreciate all this effort to improve the Dictionary.
But I feel the discussion about allowing EACH LC user to personally
modify the Dictionary with his/her own notes is being overlooked.
I think it is crazy that LC only allows notes in the Dictionary that have
been reviewed by the staff.
I WANT to add my own notes to the Dictionary, edit the examples, etc. In
short, I don't want to wait around for the LC Community to fix MY
Dictionary.
I do not think this is an unreasonable request.
