| Comment | I am using this submission as an example of the point which I wish to make.
When the novice sees a headword like, for example, "中医," with the translation of "Chinese medicine" it make sense. When the novice sees "中医学," with the translation of "Chinese medicine," the sense seems to fall away a little. In the context of the above remark, see the following entry:- 中医 【ちゅうい】 (n) Chinese medicine. However, I have to say that your site is not out of keeping with other reference works. Indeed, elsewhere, many headwords which end with "学" also have the same translation as the relative headwords without the addition of "学." Searching around further, some references give the translation for "中医学" as "Chinese medicine science [I personally would have opted for "Chinese medical science"]". And, likewise for other disciplines. Also on your own site, you have, in at least one case, also included the "study" concept where the discipline ends with "学," for example, see below:- 医歯薬学 【いしやくがく】 (n) (study of) medicine, dentisty and pharmacology. [incidentally, note spelling mistake in the above entry: "dentistry"] Maybe, you have a policy that controls a headword which includes the suffix of "学," but if the entries have simply gradually grown, then, perhaps you will give some guidance on the amending of entries by inviting deletion of any reference to the word "study" or "science." Or, in the alternative, give a signal that whenever someone sees the addition of the suffix "学" in an entry, which does not already include a reference to study, etc., an amending submission would be welcome. |

| Editorial Comment | Tacking 学 onto things is very common in Japanese, and need not be slavishly translated as "study" or "science". 工学 is plain old engineering. |

| Comment | Suggest deleting the wiggle 〜 and merging with the other
arifureta entry. By the way, if you are still customizing WWWJDIC's interface, one thing I would suggest is to make the kana headword come first on words with a (uk). It always looks strange to me when I am reading a document written by a Japanese person with these words in kana and then the WWWJDIC entry has all these kanji entries. |
