Re: Kanji skimming

Phil Yff <phil.yff@xxxxxxxxxxxx> dixit:
Could it be then that multiradical kanji lookup is most popular because
it's the easiest lookup method to get to? I like it as a lookup method
myself. But I also know that one of the reasons I use it is because I have
it as a direct bookmark. I'm not suggesting you change anything. Just
curious. I like things as they are. Last thing we want is for WWWJDIC to
get a Microsoft stigma.

Astute comment. To be frank I didn't think of that, but of course it
may well have biassed the results.

I certainly would not want you to reorganize based on my preferences.
Besides, I do things automatically. So, if you changed something to make
it more convenient, it would just make me have to relearn the mechanics.

You can make a bookmark snippet for looking things up with SKIPs.
Just point at:

(or whatever SKIP you want.)
