... Yeah, and building an authoritative dictionary is considerably harder than building a (de facto) authoritative encyclopedia. Despite, I have enormous respect for Wiktionary, and great (great!) hopes about Lexical Wikidata. > Wiktionary has multiple teaching functions whether we want it to or > not: https://curve.coventry.ac.uk/open/items/efe362e1-fe80-4c90- > bc1e-4ab2d9bbae20/1/ > Why not :) > Amir, you know it would not be losing focus because of what you said > in your talk at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_xJaqQV71s > Um... thanks for the publicity :) But no, that's not what I said. I was not trying to say that everybody should learn English. The point I was trying to make there is that knowing English is a privilege and that it is easy to not notice it. Of course, if that point didn't come through, it's my fault. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
