I’m confused - why would you update it, then remove it?

[TrinityBringer]

I guess that even after “fixing it” they decided the word was unnecessary anyway.

Thanks for the updates announcement @camfugu!

Hi all, sorry for the confusion about 大いに! We worked on improving the vocab word after receiving a user suggestion, and then decided later on to remove the word altogether (for now). It’s an obscure word anyway with a nuanced use, and we felt it didn’t belong in level 1. The reading for the kanji is covered in other vocab words, so we decided to remove.

finally, my last level 1 item is gone forever! just not in the traditional way
