<< review queue entry 87458 - submitted by 'becky82' >> Correcting the misspelling of "skull" ("scull" is related to boating). There's two of them (left and right), so maybe "parietal bones" would be better. ----------------- Editor: Good catch regarding "scull", but ... 1) There are two of many kinds of bones, such as the ulna, but the singular form is normally used in dictionary definitions unless there is a strong reason to depart from that convention. 2) Generally speaking, we don't provide definitions of the English terms used in CEDICT definitions when those terms are unambiguous and readily available in English dictionaries. 3) Including "top of the skull" actually weakens the definition because it could easily lead a reader to imagine a single bone occupying the entire top surface of the skull, which is not the case. By contrast, "parietal bone" is a precise anatomical term. |
