| Comment | Add a ref. to 気持ちいい？I'm not sure what the standard is here, though it would seem silly to do that for every instance of いい・よい。But 「気持ち良い」 has a sizable number of Google results, on the same magnitude as 「気持ちいい」。 |

| Comment | I encountered it first on this page of the Tai-Ni Dai Jiten where it explains the marks used for normal tone and nasalized tone. Then I found some other pages using this combination. My best guess is that it's read as しょうおん。 I have not been able to find any references in any of the major dictionaries available to me (Kojien, Daijirin, Meikyou). |

| Comment | As lovely a lovely as a "choku-yaku" can be, I have absolutely no idea in English what "controlled trade" might mean. In Japanese only ALC/Eijiro has it listed, but then Eijiro lists everything imaginable. If a term means nothing, then why should it find its way into a dictionary. If it does indeed mean something, please suggest a rendering that make sense to those of us whose English is still "developmental". |
