| Comment | With the latest New Entry submission 「障子に目あり」,
wouldn't it be better if this entry is changed to 「壁に耳あり」? It's almost always used in that form (and, of course, in the 「壁に耳あり障子に目あり」form.) |

| Current Entry | レトルト /(n) retort (food)/(P)/ |
| Headword 1 | レトルト |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | retort (food) |
| English 2 | a sealed plastic pouch typically containing ready-made sauce or stew, to be reheated in the microwave or in boiling water |
| English 3 | boil-in-the-bag |
| Reference | wikipedia on レトルト食品
|
| Comment | The OED defines "retort pouch" as "a type of flexible packaging in which food is sterilized by heating in a retort", but I think that in English this is still a food industry technical term and the EDICT entry could therefore use a little clarification (which I have put in as sense 2). I'm not sure "boil-in-the-bag" matches completely, but as a single-word translation it's much better than "retort".

| Current Entry | 薄型テレビ [うすがたテレビ] /(n) flat-screen television/flat-screen TV/ |
| Headword 1 | 薄型テレビ |
| Reading 1 | うすがたテレビ |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | flat-panel television (TV) |
| English 2 | thin-screen television (TV) |
| English 3 | thin-model flat-screen television (TV) |
| Reference | GG5: 薄型テレビ a slim (type) TV
RNN時事英語辞典： 薄型テレビ thin-screen TV http://rnnnews.jp/category/pg/view.php?ch=31&page=4 How to Compare a Flat Panel TV with a Flat Screen TV http://www.ehow.com/how_1000449_flat-panel-tv.html Flat screen TVs are normal tube sets where the screen is "flat" or level instead of being a curved surface, and their overall size is still large. The flat panel TVs also have flat screens but are less bulky than standard flat screen TVs and won't have nearly as much depth. |
| Comment | Defining 薄型テレビ as "flat-screen TV" is misleading. Although many LCD and plasma type TVs are sold today as "flat-screen TV," this term also encompasses the old-fashioned CRT (cathode ray tube) TVs whose screen surface is flat (not curved). As CRT TVs, they are bulky (definitely not 薄型). Only the thin-model (slim-type) flat-screen TVs are 薄型テレビ. |
