2004! I'm afraid my memory doesn't work that far back. ... after some detective work it looks like the _kanji_ 麻呂 was what I was aiming at and somewhere along the line the link and submission got mixed up. http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/search.php?MT=まる&kind=jn&mode=1&base=1&row=2 As you see the 'Also 丸' makes sense now. |

| Comment | [Suggest] Glitch.
The radio button was next to 上さん; 上様 【かみさん】 (n) (1) (uk) (one's) wife; (2) (someone's) wife; (3) landlady when I got this result. This time I checked and the dictionary definitely had not been changed from 'Edict'. I can't say what triggered it though. (Firefox, Windows, recent activity included opening [New Entry/Amendment] in a different window) |

| Editorial Comment | If this happens again, can you save the *HTML* of both the pages (the one with the "Suggest ..." and the edict page) and email them to me. I need to look at hidden variables, etc. in the HTML to try and find out what happened. Also, tell me the time-of-day when it happened. It's possible to straddle a file update at the site you use. |
