Not every comment is the same.
Some are questions. Some start a discussion. And some contain exactly the kind of knowledge a dictionary should have.
That's why every comment form has a This is a contribution checkbox.
Use it when you're adding something the entry itself should know: a missing meaning, a regional usage, a correction, or a detail that's incomplete or unclear.
Once your contribution passes review, it doesn't just appear in the discussion below the entry. It becomes one of the sources the entry is generated from the next time it's updated.
In fact, we trust those contributions more than anything else we can find.
Because if you speak the language every day, you're often the best source there is.
Take coger in Spanish. The entry explains that it means to take or to grab, and that it's vulgar in much of Latin America. That's accurate, but it's also incomplete. Which countries? How strong is it? Would it make people laugh, or would it genuinely offend?
Someone from Buenos Aires, Mexico City, or Bogotá can answer those questions in a few sentences. Once that knowledge is reviewed, it becomes part of the dictionary itself.
That's the idea.
The people who speak a language should help shape how it's described.
If you know something we've missed, tell us.
The next version of that entry might exist because of you.
