This is the same meaning right?
Also, I never knew reading the words sweat and smell so many times could be so viscerally displeasing :sweat_smile:

In these content updates lists, I always have to look up many of the mentioned kanji and vocabs although I should know them, because they are in levels I have already passed. Somewhat scary … Or do you take my leech list and try to make the items in there more sticky?

The crabigator has lots of sneaky ways :wink:

Also just wanted to point out “passed” (guru) doesn’t always mean “acquired.” They will come back in reviews and hopefully will be acquired by the time you burn them. There may be correlation with this list and leech lists because these are the ones we’ve picked out for improvement :thinking:
