Editor:
In reply to your comment "Anything wrong with this entry?":

Well, 易腐败 is not a word that appears in other Chinese-English dictionaries, presumably because it's easy enough to figure out what 易腐败 means if you know what 腐败 means (to perish; to rot), and how 易 is used as a prefix that corresponds to the English adjective suffix "-able".

We already have some examples of this sort of word:
易取得 accessible
易激惹 irritable

I guess I don't mind adding one more, so I will process your submission, and expand the entry for 易.

Sorry for taking a while to getting around to your submission. It's been sitting on the queue.
