Hi! I just want to ask about 記. If the closest meaning is “record”, as some people have said to me, then “record” should be the first meaning listed, and not “write down”. ありがとうございます。

背景(はいけい) has tofugu in romaji @Mods

Hey @DIO-Berry! I’ll have the content team take a look to see if this was on purpose or not :slightly_smiling_face:

I decided to use the API to do a quick scan of all context sentences that still have Tofugu in romaji. Assuming I didn’t mess up the code somehow this should be the entire list of vocab items where Tofugu appears in at least one of the context sentences:

It’d probably take a while to get through them one by one. So I thought having them all in one big list would probably make it a bit easier. I could have missed a few if Tofugu appears in something aside from the context sentences though, I only checked those. :grin:

I’m just pointing them out as I find them, so your way is much more efficient! I think it’ll be nice to for the team to be able to complete their new standard faster this way :slight_smile:

Nah, they made an announcement a while ago in one of these that they were planning to standardize writing the company name in kana.

That makes sense.

In the reading explanation of the kanji 隊, Tofugu’s name appears in romaji. The company name probably should be left that way there (and in similar cases) though, as とふぐ is definitely not a reading of the kanji 隊, but that could get confusing…

Oh yeah. This is just context sentences :slight_smile: I just assume that the mods know already since I almost exclusively @ them only ever in these type of threads for that reason.

Thanks for compiling it.

Since it’s not really an urgent bug and having romaji isn’t wrong or anything, we might not get through this right away. But at least for new vocab sentences, we’ll keep this in mind.
