They gonna hit us with “mastering” right at level 2? That’d certainly set the tone for things to come. :slightly_smiling_face:

All right, I feel like I’m being gaslit here.

When was 想 switched from Concept to Imagine?
I can’t be imagining things, but I looked through the last 6 or so updates and didn’t see it anywhere.
If it was a change, I would still expect it to be on the Alternative List, but it’s not listed at all…

Hmmm.

I really wish each item had a little version history you could browse.
This type of thing gets extremely frustrating when you’ve been on the site for a long time…

I would put in on par with being taught the KUN reading instead of the ON reading, because the ON reading “is hardly used” then finding five vocabulary using the ON. That honestly makes me want to smash durtles, as my brain has gotten pretty good at compartmentalizing ON vs KUN, then I get these wrong because it’s being taught wrong for a false sense of convenience…

I can understand if it literally is never used, but even if it’s just once, I would prefer to remember the proper ON reading and then have to remember that most of the vocab doesn’t follow that, especially as there is usually a logical reason that they don’t.

Le sigh…
