Comment:	<< review queue entry 47905 - submitted by 'xiaoxiong' >> wouldn't hurt to include the original meaning of this character 【漢語大詞典】 yǐn 1. 笑貌。楊樹達《積微居小學金石論叢・釋聽》：「《說文》二篇上《口部》云：『听，笑貌也。從口，斤聲。』按：听為笑貌，前人未有言其故者。以愚考之，蓋謂張口之狀也。何以明之……《言部》訢訓喜，《欠部》欣訓笑喜，今通語謂取樂為開心，蓋古之遺語矣。忻為心開，听文從口，當為口開，笑者口必開，故听為笑貌矣。」張舜徽《說文解字約注》卷三：「忻從心而訓闓，即今語所稱開心也。听從口而訓笑，即莊周所云『開口而笑』耳。」參見「听然」。 2. 見「听听」。【國語辭典】 yǐn 笑的樣子。文選・司馬相如・上林賦：「亡是公听然而笑。」唐・劉禹錫・說驥：「睹之周體，眙然視，听然笑，既而抃隨之。」 Editor: well, since 听 is one of the most common everyday characters, it'd be a good idea to at least indicate that it's an old use so to avoid confusion.

Googling ["麵麭" site:.tw] yields only 39 webpages. Matic finds that both Z & 汉语大字典 say it's "pao4", not "bao1". 康熙字典 says that, too: 音炮。餌也。 MoE likewise ~ 音讀ㄆㄠˋ 釋義: 餌也。見集韻‧去聲‧效韻。 http://dict.variants.moe.edu.tw/yitic/frc/frc17929.htm 麭 can't be said to be a variant of 包, because 麭 and 包 have - different pronunciations - different meanings

Comment:	<< review queue entry 47834 - submitted by 'xiaoxiong' >> neutral everywhere, even MoE Editor: What tone is it here? http://chinesepod.com/tools/glossary/entry/%E7%8E%AB%E7%91%B0%E4%BB%A3%E8%A1%A8 (Click the "Play" button, and tell me what your ears tell you) I can give you plenty more examples where the voice actors and the presenters of Chinesepod say [mei2 gui1]. It's to users' advantage for CEDICT to challenge what "all dictionaries say" and to give definitions and pr.'s that are different from others — as long as they are valid, of course :-) — rather than just be a carbon copy of the "conventional wisdom" or consensus of other dictionaries. When a word has optional qingsheng, dictionaries just choose one pr. or the other. Perhaps they choose the one they think is more common, or perhaps they just copy what other dictionaries say, but the result is that users get the impression that the alternative is wrong, when it's not. You are trying to make CEDICT line up with other dictionaries, because you think that when those dictionaries all say it's qingsheng, that must be the only correct pronunciation. That's understandable, but wrong. Dictionaries all say 浙江 is pronounced without qingsheng, but it's just not true that the qingsheng pronunciation is incorrect. Both are correct. I've heard native speakers clearly say it with qingsheng, and YR Chao states explicitly in "Mandarin Primer": "Some neutral tones are optional, as in 浙江 Jeh.jiang or Jehjiang" [Pinyin: Zhèjiang and Zhèjiāng] There are many words which have optional neutral tone, but most dictionaries just select one pronunciation or the other, not both. And often, by convention (or mutual copying), they end up all saying the same thing, as in the case of 浙江. Only beginners are hypnotized by qingsheng and discuss it endlessly. When is the last time you failed to understand something because of qingsheng? Or were corrected for not using it?

Comment:	<< review queue entry 47757 - submitted by 'xiaoxiong' >> Can one extort without threats? Also not sure if "a protection racket" is appropriate. Editor: Good point. "extortion always involves a written or verbal threat whereas robbery can occur without any verbal or written threat" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extortion The author of the entry may have been thinking of phrases such as the legal term "extortion with threats to kill" etc. "protection racket" is a specific type of extortion: "an extortion scheme whereby a criminal group or individual coerces a victim (usually a business) to pay money, supposedly for protection services against violence or property damage. Racketeers coerce reticent potential victims into buying "protection" by demonstrating what will happen if they don't" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_racket On the other hand some sources like NC include "to racketeer" in their definitions, and blackmail is a specific type of extortion, too, just as protection rackets are. Anyway, I guess we can leave it out of the definition, at least for now. Interestingly, from some examples I read, it seems that 敲詐 has the same (loose) sense of "charging exorbitant fee" that "extortion" can have in English.

The submission is in line with Z's source, but there is no general agreement with this in "all the usual references" In NC, zi1sheng1 is the pronunciation for both senses ("squeak/chirp/cheep" & "utter a sound"). NC has no "zhi1sheng1" -- and 吱[zhi1] has only an onomatopoeic meaning in NC. 吱声 is #2 in my IME when I type "zhisheng", but it's not there at all if I type "zisheng" In Chinesepod, the "utter sth" sense is pronounced zhi1 ~ http://chinesepod.com/tools/glossary/entry/%E5%90%B1%E5%A3%B0 M says the "utter sth" sense can be either zi1sheng1 or zhi1sheng1 “吱声”的吱念"zhi"还是"zi" A: 这是哪里查到的啊？我是哈尔滨的，我们基本就说普通话，我们平时都念"zhisheng"如果念成"zisheng"好像大舌头的感觉，鸡西那边这样说话。 B: 我是从汉典网上查的，而且我日常听到的都是“zī shēng”，倒是觉得“zhī shēng”舌头打结。 C: 应该是zhisheng D: 应该是吱zi声... http://ie.sogou.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=15410&extra=page%3D562 Emailed you with this material nearly one year ago, on 6 Aug, 2012 – didn't get a reply.

E.g. 但是，“紋”字自誕生以來，它的義項很明確，只表示“花紋、紋路”之意，尤其是與動詞“文”的 “刻畫”義項，絕無混淆。... “文身”有兩層含義，一個指在身上刻畫花紋，另一意為身上刻畫的花紋。前者是動作，後者是名稱。我們說了“紋”不具動詞性質，用“紋身”自然顯得有些不當。「文」「紋」兩字，音相同，形、義不同。「紋」是後起字，分擔了「文」的花紋義，是名詞。「文」是動詞，指在人身上、臉上刻畫花紋、圖形或文字。「紋」是個形聲字，本指絲織品上的花紋，如「綾紋」，因此，意符是「糸」。 Although you wrote (in an email) that you "just thought this was pretty obvious" (that 紋 is a verb "to tattoo"), on balance this view doesn't seem to be accepted.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 41554 - submitted by 'xiaoxiong' >> most ch-ch dictionaries have this meaning and reading, including MoE and 漢語大詞典 originally, there was no 花 character. 華 stood for "flower". 花 and 華 are still interchangeable in Japanese, and at least some HK people say that 華 in their name indeed stands for flower, not China Editor: [richwarm]: Interchangeable? I think it would look quite strange to write 生け花 as 生け華. as for the Chinese sense: M: 植物的花朵。如：「春華秋實」。同「花」。 Z: 古同“花”，花朵。【漢語大詞典】：花。 in 辞海, for example, you can find certain x花 words (like 松花) as 亦作"松华", so apparently they indeed are variants.
