| Comment | < ... using 赤烏帽子 as a metaphor for "odd taste". Is this a valid assessment? If so it would be grounds for leaving it there with "metaphor for having an odd taste in clothes, etc." as a gloss. >
I think "the word itself as a metaphor" is indeed a valid assessment. I haven't found, however, any particular reference to an odd taste in "clothes." The definition in 大辞林 also says "変わった物、また変わったものを好むことにいう". So how about "metaphor for an odd item or having a taste for such an item" or something like that? |

| Comment | This is a very odd phrase/sentence. Could this be a typo for 演奏中入場お断り（えんそうちゅうにゅうじょうおことわり）?
中入り（なかいり）is intermission during performance in sumo, yose, etc., but there's no such word (I don't think) as 演奏中入り（えんそうなかいり）. GG5 has: 演奏中は入場できません. You are not allowed in after the concert has started. ｜ 〔掲示〕 Entry is not permitted during the performance. |

I'm not sure if there's anything particularly meaningful about this phrase (except for its derivation from the long-running TV program that has led to its popularity). To me, it's merely a repetition of a word for exmphasis similar to: うんうん、見た見た、あったあった、いるいる、いたいた、知ってる知ってる、やったやった! , etc. (うん、そういう事って、あるある！、うんうん、そういう人っているいる！ etc.) |

| Comment | This is a bit of a confused entry.
Sense (2) is given as a kana only (int) entry on its own in 大辞林, and I'm inclined to agree with that. http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/search.php?MT=よし&kind=jn&mode=0&base=1&row=4 If not then sense (2) is certainly more common than (1). The 大辞林 entry for 良い has more senses than you can shake a stick at, Edict doesn't split the glosses for 良い at the moment. I would suggest having sense (1) of this entry included as part of an expanded entry for 良い. |

If you come across 如何にも in text it would almost certainly be いかにも which has a significantly different meaning and _doesn't_ have an Edict entry. I would suggest changing this (back?) to a kana only entry but if not then there certainly needs to be an entry for 如何にも for 'disambiguation' purposes. |
