Iām actually wondering whether weād want weekly threads at all, or whether itās sufficient to have a more coarse-grained thread schedule.
Itās very easy (at least for the main entries) to make it clear what a certain post is talking about: just list the name of the entry.
But given the high number of interested people, it might make sense to start with weekly threads until we get a feeling for how much discussion will actually happen, or how rapidly the reader base will shrink (which happens with almost every book club, so thatās pretty normal).

True, another option could be to make one thread per letterā¦ although I just counted them and it turns out 19 letters of the abc alphabet are used so I guess that doesnāt make it a lot fewer. xD

One thread per entry.

Or what novel 
There is a novel called čćē·Øć that is about writing a dictionaryā¦

Agreed that we probably donāt necessarily need to go the traditional way here. How about a thread per letter? A, B, Cā¦? Not the easiest for scheduling but the easiest for look ups when the club is over and asking questions.
Also speaking of not being traditional, I think we also donāt need the spoiler tag?

I want to be surprised by the grammar. >:c
Kidding, but the spoiler tag use I could see would be if anybody posts examples of grammar from other things they are reading, it would be polite to include spoiler tags for that in case somebody else is reading that series also/plans to read it.

How about several letters per thread? A-C, D-F, etc, depending on how many entries there are per letter. A bit like old encyclopedia tomes (anyone remember those?)
In the onomatopoeia thread we use examples from our reading or listening for every word posted. Iāve run into sentences in my reading that were too much of a spoiler, and those I chose not to post, but otherwise, a random sentence with no source, context or names couldnāt be regarded as a spoiler, surely?

I mean, if no source or anything is listed, I agree. A spoiler tag would be unnecessary. I just meant that if somebody posts an example sentence with any of those things, a spoiler tag would just be courteous.

Agreed, but again, only if plot is actually revealed. Most sentences on their own donāt reveal all that much. 
(and posting spoilers as grammar examples wouldnāt help much if people would want to avoid seeing them in the first place)

A good use case for spoiler tags (for me) would be if people include their translations with their example sentences. Iād be happy if they could then spoiler the translation so that I can first form my own idea of the sentence (just like in the onomatopoeia thread).

Ah! I see wonderful idea! Except for a couple of letters, most of them arenāt that long, so lumping them together would work wonderfully. Iāll look over some options for this. Possibly pick a number to divide them into, depending on page count and then mix and match letters in a way that should generally even out the number of pages/entries covered by each thread.
Also, I see a rewriting of the posting advice/discussion part of the OP in my future. xD

511 pages of main entries. Looking at that my first thought was 10 threads of ca 50 pages. Letās see how that works outā¦
Pages per letter, bolded the largest letters
A - 18 pages
B - 9 p
D - 26 p
E - 2 p (only one entry, can you figure out which one? Hint: particle)
G - 13 p
H - 17 p
I - 11 p
J - 5 p
K - 60 p
M - 42 p
N - 77 p
O - 21 p
R - 17 p
S - 59 p
T - 71 p
U - 4 p
W - 19 p
Y - 37 p
Z - 2 p
A-D, E-J, K, M, N, O-R, S, T, U-Z would be the closest to 50 pages per section as you can get without cutting letters in half, and Iām not about to that. It gives 9 threads.
My take away is that there wonāt be a nice way to split, so either something like the above is used. Or just something like 3 letters per thread, making 5 threads with 3 letters and one with 4. Or do 9 threads with 2 letters for all but one that has 3. Either of these two options would make the organization look nice and pretty and consistent, but some threads might cover a LOT more entries than others.
Iām not gonna poll this, because it isnāt that important, but if you have a preference let me know, otherwise Iāll just pick one when get closer to the start date.
@Akashelia You werenāt that far off about N/ni.

If those are the only grammar terms starting with K that you can think of, then youāre in the right place.

There we go. I rewrote the spoiler part of the discussion heading in the OP a bit to clarify when a spoiler should be used. Hopefully, I didnāt introduce any errors. xD
I will close the schedule poll Tuesday evening (21/3) central European time. So make sure to vote before then!
