| Comments: | I agree that if the figurative sense is much more common, then it should come first. |

| Comments: | I think it really comes down to frequency of use for senses. We've followed the usual approach in modern dictionaries of having the senses in frequency order. We have the [lit] tag to highlight cases where they differ significantly. In this case I don't think it's an issue, but when there's a common figurative sense and a rare literal sense, I'd really think it's most appropriate for the common one to lead. |

| Comments: | Concerning the ordering of the senses, I think the literal sense should come before the figurative sense, even if the latter is more common |
