Hello I am back after being back very briefly 3 years ago, which was just under a year after the break before that

Since my old post was locked due to inactivity, I’d initially considered not making note of the example sentences anymore because it would be too much effort, but I here I am.

Bringing back this example from Atrufulgium for some meta

安全・第一 is written all over construction sites in japan which makes new residents/tourists think it’s a construction company, but it’s just something that’s kind of ingrained into Japanese society

You nerd-sniped me and I couldn’t help but go looking into how anomalous it is to have four context sentences. There are, at time of posting, 633 vocabulary items with four sentences (and 54 with five), so not too rare, but these special five have six: 映像 (Level 9), 画像 (9), 映る (10), 退く (28), 唐揚げ (55).

Those first few do seem to have slipped your notice, but now I’m curious as to why someone on the WK team felt that those terms in particular needed so much context. :thinking:

Maybe they just love 唐揚げ as much as I do.
