| Comment | I don't think that this is worthy of inclusion. It's just a word combination. (Does get lots of googits though). Plus, your translation is most likely incorrect. It should be: demand for replacement (parts, LEDs). I.e. we do not anticipate a high demand for replacement LED lights after dispersion through the market.
More context would help though. (長寿命を特徴とするLED照明では)，普及後の大きな交換需要が見込めない状況にある。 |

| Comment | I heard the expression on the sports news and looked for confirmation on your site. The "RH" was the direct result. This headword gets the odd 160k Google hits. Searching for the headword, together with a reading as well as the kanji, as per your suggestion, confirms the entry and where English translations appear they too confirm the above. Also, Nelson (5769.7) agrees.
In addition, should you agree to promote the "RH", you may also consider promoting the following:- 負け投手になる 【まけとうしゅになる】 get (pick up, suffer) the loss; WI1 This "WI1" has your [A] link giving this meaning. However, searching around, where this expression is prefixed with something like "2度目の," it could be translated as "to pick up a 2nd loss. Incidentally, this expression, without the prefix, gets just under 400k Google hits. |

| Comment | Re, Scott's comment:
> I don't think that this is worthy of inclusion. It's just a word combination. (Does get lots of googits though). * It's certainly not vital to have it, but it would be convenient to have, since it is sort of a stock phrase. :-) > Plus, your translation is most likely incorrect. * The entry is suboptimal if left with just that one meaning, so i have improved it, following your (valuable) suggestion. I often don't have the time and resources to always do an exhaustive search on all possible meanings of a given expression, so i may enter a term on occasion that needs refinement, and i welcome additional information of the kind you can provide. But let us be careful with terms like "wrong", "false", or "incorrect". :-) In this case, "can/should be improved" - but not wrong. If things were that simple, we would not need translators but could leave it to machines to do the job. ;-) |

| Comment | Re-submitted after fixing the adv/pre/suf/adj issue...
Jim had asked: > is "(pre) semi-" not just a case of it being an adverb (with に omitted, as often happens)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:David_Kernow/Internet_sources_re_hyphe ns_and_adverbs, for example, has it as prefix (although i have no idea how authoritative that information is), and apparently it is normally used without a hyphen (my experience is that it appears with a hyphen in some cases but not in others, and i have not yet stopped to think about any rule(s) that might possibly exists in that regards). OTOH, considering that "semi" is attached to adjectives for the purpose of modifying them, one could, on account of that purpose, think of it as adverb, as you suggest, but, i am sorry, m(_ _)m, i am not able to follow up on that subtlety right now.... :-) |

"Translate Words" where at present only the meaning あし will come up, but since we had a similar situation just a few days ago, on 04-12, with 基, i am sure you can handle this item in the same way, rather than actually making the amendment i have shown above... PS, in regards to some other recent comments of yours: there were cases of spelling errors and an overlooked (thus wrongly set) "part-of-speech" marker, etc. It would help me if you could let me know in such cases if you'll fix those yourself or whether you 'd like a re-submission, since i have a habit of checking my own submissions for comments sooner or later. :-) |
