Comment:	<< review queue entry 39787 - submitted by 'loreleileigh' >> Shouldn't 片 be fourth tone? Editor: it's 1st tone if you erhua it. Saying this means just "wood chip" is misleading.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 38654 - submitted by 'loreleileigh' >> My Taiwanese interlocutors had no idea what hui4 lu4 was! They say it's pronounced hui4 luo4 in TW. Editor: No. This word is heard a lot in the media, so it's unlikely that anybody would be unfamiliar with the standard pronunciation huilu. A drift of lu towards luo, lou, lao, in all words, can be experienced everywhere in China.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 36355 - submitted by 'loreleileigh' >> Sorry, I somehow left out 性 in my last suggestion! Although I guess you could also do an entry for 退行 as "regress"? http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BA%A8%E4%B8%81%E9%A0%93%E8%88%9E%E8%B9%88%E7%97%87 Editor: to regress 催眠术令人年龄退行 to recede 对星系退行速度超光速的理解 to degenerate: "Huntington's disease, ... is a neurodegenerative genetic disorder" [Wikipedia] and from the Chinese Wp article you quoted ... 亨丁頓舞蹈症...是一種遺傳性神經退行性疾病 I don't know what you mean by "regressive disease". There are far fewer google hits for "regressive disease" than "degenerative disease". One of the examples of "regressive disease" says: "obesity is a 'regressive disease'–disproportionately affecting the poor and minorities." Was that the sense of "regressive" you intended?

Comment:	<< review queue entry 34336 - submitted by 'loreleileigh' >> Heard on the Popup Chinese podcast about GI Joe. I think shell and grenade are almost the same thing anyway? (Granted, I'm not a military expert!) Editor: shell and grenade are not the same thing of course. I think gas grenade should be 毒氣手榴弹, but it would be abbreviated to 毒氣彈, so OK.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 29815 - submitted by 'loreleileigh' >> I thought it might be good to clarify, to differentiate between other ways to say "comment" Editor: I don't think you can say that 留言 can't mean "leave one's comments" in non-Internet contexts. For example, in the context of 留言簿 I think 留言 can be understood as "leaving comments." On the other hand, I think we can add a noun sense of 留言, as in 他一有空我就转告他您的留言。

Comment:	<< review queue entry 29058 - submitted by 'loreleileigh' >> I've never heard anyone (here in Taiwan) say 熱水瓶 to talk about a thermos; 熱水瓶 refers to the hot water dispensers that practically every Taiwanese has in their kitchen. Editor: although 保溫瓶 is the preferred word, 熱水瓶 is easily understood everywhere, including Taiwan, as thermos. The hot-water dispenser kind (where you press some button to pour water) is in fact also a thermos; originally you poured hot water into it, and the dispensing system was simply some mechanical, air-pressure system. I had one when I was younger. Human progress being what it is, what you find know is an appliance which combines an electric water boiler with the thermos bottle and the dispensing system. It is called 電動熱水瓶 or simply 電熱水瓶. Of course, these days, you don't see many thermos bottles around, so when you say 熱水瓶 it is understood to be short for 電熱水瓶. But 熱水瓶 still means "thermos bottle", and often designates the old plain kind, check for web images
