Dear Skritter team,

while some of the sample sentences are really weird and sometimes contain googleesk translations some are quite good and I would like to add them to a study list.

I started doing it manually to a list, which also showed me that they are not part of the active database. It would be cool if they could be added upon click of a button. The S function of the Zhongwentool just seems to add single characters, so this does not work.

This should also lead to cleaned up sample sentences with better translations as you would gather quick feedback and corrections on this.

Dream function is of course still individual sample sentences, but I guess Christmas just passed, so got to wait for a while :-)

Yeah, some of the sample sentences seem pretty far out there, and sometimes they seem way harder than necessary for a given word.

Building off of what MasterOfComboBoxes above says - I wonder if sample sentences couldn't be handled in almost exactly the same way as mnemonics. Individualized if you want, but also groupsourcing to find better example sentences for each word.

Even those of us still in the beginner - intermediate range should be able to find examples of correct usage for many words.

We do want to make example sentences much more like mnemonics, but it's a project we won't start on right now--got some other things to do. But yeah, that would make them a lot better.

I'll think about the adding-sentences-as-vocab thing for when we do the next iteration of sentences, but I think I'll hold off on that now, too. Interesting idea!
