[NeoArcturus]

@mods After playing around a bit cuz I’m waiting for my reviews, I found some more weird stuff here that you might want to check out.

Sorry for pinging you twice

Heya @NeoArcturus thanks so much for sending these screenshots our way! We typically add a word to the block list for a few reasons such as the word/phrase being an antonym, or the word having similar kanji components and similar enough wording to get through our typo forgiveness system. These look more like they could be typos (perhaps from typing too fast) as opposed to mistakes someone would make in thinking a word that was connected to a different kanji was the one they were looking at. If you come across any other examples like the above, feel free to send them our way!

[NeoArcturus]

Ok, thank you for explaining me how this works! I will tell you when I find something again that I think might be relevant enough to be added to the block list!

It probably got accepted because “national rent” is just two character changes away from “national debt”.

(seriously why did they put u i and o right next to each other)
((also peep that accuracy ))

Meanwhile in Dvorak land, all the vowels are together!

Messed up a bit on this one

[NeoArcturus]

Ummmm, so yeah, why in the world was this accepted lmao

[Belthazar]

It’s only two letters different from “action”, so it’s near enough for the “close enough” detector.

@Mods I don’t have a screenshot, but I typed “to compare” for https://www.wanikani.com/vocabulary/競う “to compete” and it was marked correct.

I would believe that “to compare” should probably not be accepted for “to compete”.

Added, thanks!

[Greenfire311]

I actually laughed out loud with this one!!! Stink!

Here I meant to type the correct answer but somehow hit all the wrong keys:

Here I answered wrongly, but it was still accepted:
Should be blacklisted. @Mods

[WaniConti]

Hey! I will get ‘tax decrease’ added to the block list for 増税.

[taiyousea]

@Mods i fully got it wrong but i guess “publishing” is a close enough typo?

[Belthazar]

It’s probably got “publish” as a hidden synonym. That’s one of the definitions it has in Jisho.

[taiyousea]

AHHH i was wondering why i keep attributing that definition to it!! thank you

[TofuguKyle]

This is correct
