I like the shorter "lit" version. |

i agree with removing "penny wise and pound foolish", but isn't the literal translation "wasting money on a cheap item"? |

could be treated as an id instead, it's a fine line. |

I agree, it isn't necessary. (I didn't add it, just added an
expl to it)

Sorry, but I didn't really do these as a batch though - I
only made amendments to 15 idiomatic/proverb entries.
Several of them were just changing [id] to [proverb], not a
change that requires a great deal of double-checking. |

-IMO, that's not really an expl gloss or if it is, it's unnecessary.
-As I previously requested, can we please hold off on batch entries (e.g., lists of bats, lists of idioms, etc.) until Jim comes back? Otherwise, I have to approve all this stuff myself, which I don't have time for if I ever want to finish my PhD. The alternative is to let a couple hundred amendments pile up to await Jim upon his return, and I don't think he really wants to deal with that upon his return either. |
