A big accuracy pass over the dictionary. Izwi's earliest entries were drafted before we required every definition to be checked against an outside source. We have now gone back through all 330 of them, one at a time. - 72 entries corrected, 20 of them rewritten outright - Words that were filed under the wrong language or the wrong spelling are fixed - Sensitive and derogatory terms now carry a warning instead of being presented as friendly slang - Two pronunciation clips re-recorded to match their corrected headword - Every one of those entries now records what it was checked against Some corrections were serious. "Phara" was described as a charming smooth operator when it actually refers to a nyaope addict. "Go nyala" was defined as being disgusted when it simply means to marry. Those are fixed, along with dozens of smaller ones. Where we could not confirm a term, we say so in the entry rather than guessing. A small number of rare sayings are now marked as unconfirmed while we look for a native speaker or a print dictionary to settle them. If you spot something wrong, please tell us. Getting this right matters more to us than looking finished.
