shouldn't the translation of example #3376 be like: 'He CAN'T even read,
let alone write.' (contributor: eastmaels)

changed, tx. BTW - feel free to edit/correct examples. thats what the edit
button is for! (contributor: dc)

dc how can we edit modify examples? In re-design version, I cannot. Are
there more columns next to user name of each entry? (contributor: Miki)

miki - hmm. i will look into it... (contributor: dc)

There are other examples in this batch that requires finetuning. Think, DC!

#3384 should be without ひ after 自転車.
彼女は自転車はもちろんオートバイにも乗れない。
(contributor: Miki)

miki - are you still unable to edit examples? I fixed the commented one
above (also the translation was wrong). (contributor: dc)

I thought we fixed that. apologies, will look into it. (contributor: dc)

Is this read as 'Ha Mochiron' or 'Wa Mochiron'? (contributor:
tenkamuteki82)

I noticed in all the examples the はもちろん is followed by a 〜も
statement.

is the も required to make this statement valid? (contributor: tigert)

Just spotted in example [#6617]: 「スポッツ」。Should that be
『スポーツ』 かな? (contributor: foggynotion)

Why is #3382's example note 研究 and not 勉強? (contributor:
