I typed in the correct answer, the word turned green, but yet I am told after finishing the review that I apparently answered this one incorrectly?
Am I missing something or is this a bug?
Within the same review session, did you previously get either meaning or reading wrong? That would usually be enough for the item to not pass as a whole.
Something happened to me too
ç· i mistyped it meaning as âmannâ and it counted wrongđ
I am thinking why is this a thing.
Not sure what youâre questioning - if itâs the one-letter typo, thatâs because the leeway wanikani gives us on meaning spellings (a Levenshtein distance or something similar) is roughly proportional to the length of the string. A trick I like to use sometimes, when I donât remember whether a kanji is a verb or its corresponding noun (e.g. permit vs permission), is to answer using the shorter of the two alternatives, since that is more likely be counted as a typo of the longer string vice versa.
The other trick is to add user synonyms for three-letter meanings ending in n, particularly for japanese loanwords like yen. I canât be the only one who types âyennâ from all the double-n-to-type-ă in reading reviewsâŠ
If I totally misunderstood you and you were indeed questioning why things are counted wrong in general, Iâm sorry, but I canât help you there.
Itâs because all three letter meanings have to be exact matches.
I would just install the double check script to avoid this.
Iâm pretty sure it is fixed, but I could be wrong.
@morteasd Youâre right, itâs a fixed number of replacements, deletions, or insertions for a given string length. I only wrote âroughlyâ because it isnât strictly proportional (that would mean something like one character of leeway per 4 characters in a string, which it isnât; Iâm pretty sure the leeway grows faster than that).
@Stay_coolXD Other than explicitly blacklisted items (e.g. probably east for west and vice versa; youâll find a few more requested if you go through the typos thread), meaning is irrelevant to whether a typo is accepted or not. That said, âmannâ would at least be a correct translation for German. Learning a second language on the side?
