Obviously little interest in that idea.

Since the 4 variant kanji forms make up less than 5% of the usage for the たまったものではない family, can we now clump them together with [sK] on all the kanji forms? It seems a way out that wasn't available last year.

堪ったものではない	1887
堪ったものじゃない	503
堪ったもんではない	118
堪ったもんじゃない	2624

I don't think there's an easy way out of this one. All 4 versions are common enough to include, yet merging them makes for a mess of restrictions. I think I'll just add the other 3 and be done with it.

I don't think that would work. How would it be glossed?

たまったものではない	27911
たまったものじゃない	9354
たまったもんではない	2324
たまったもんじゃない	53744

Can we shorten this to たまったもの and also include たまったもん?

Sorry for the repeat if you came across the other submission first, but if you came aross this one first then you will by this comment know that there is another similar submission.

I came across the above and in view of your comments, noted below, I thought that I should let you know about this entry.

Re: 出入国管理 【しゅつにゅうこくかんり】 (n) immigration control, you stated, "Why don't they just use "入国管理"? Not for me to say, but they don't. 
All the dictionaries, including the government's own "Standard Legal Terms Dictionary" say it's "immigration control", so who are we to argue? Coming the other direction, the リーダーズ+プラス EJ glosses "immigration control" as "(出)入国管理", among other things like 入国審査."

If this entry should remain in the dictionary, then maybe a cross-reference between this and "出入国管理及び難民認定法 【しゅつにゅうこくかんりおよびなんみんにんていほう】 (n) Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act" could be included in order to avoid a misunderstanding.

(Google hits for kanji frequency, all quite uncommon, and GG5 gives examples in kana;
闌れる given in 新解さん)

Read in book for class 『日本語上級読解』 (as before), referring to withered grass in a field in January.

Book glosses it 「すっかり枯れてしまった」 (completely withered), but dictionaries all state “*starting* to wither (as winter approaches)”, or “in the process of withering” instead, so that’s what I’ve put. Given apparent etymology （す＋枯れる）, it might mean “at either end of withering – starting to wither (dicts), completely withered (book)“, but this is pure speculation.
