| Comment | Although the headword cannot be found as a dictionary entry [at least, as far as I have seen], it does get 130,000 - 160,000 Google hits, depending on usage. There is no doubt about the meaning, nor the reading, so the concept of 'work in progress' is perhaps more about a 'non-promotion' reluctance, rather than 'greater clarity' is still needed.
It is extremely useful for the novice to have this headword and to see its normal meaning and reading so I am wondering if the headword cannot be brought into the realms of the 'defined' expressions, rather than 'work in progress' [which category you did indicate could be deleted at any time]. Again, if it cannot be promoted to the main dictionary, could you consider, a new category for this type of headword, which headword is clearly accepted as a much used 'na' adjective combination, but which presumably falls outside the concept of the normal dictionary criteria. I see that 'work in progress' now includes 4 categories, perhaps we could have something like 'common usage' in a category of its own. |
