Just missed my burn of 老人 because I answered it as “elder” instead of “elderly person”. I added “elder” as a user-defined synonym but it’s still going back to the guru pile. I think if we add the most recently provided answer as a user-provided synonym the algorithm should undo the SRS penalty.
Yes, I know this can be done with scripts but it should honestly be part of the main system…
I kind of think the best time to add them would be originally, during the lesson itself, but you can’t do it at that point. That would be useful?
And then of course I forget to add it later. and then I get it wrong, and it is annoying.
But I get so many others wrong anyway that it doesn’t make too much difference so I don’t take it too much to heart.
But I do feel your pain.
