Sources / References

Spotted a typo? Found a better example sentence? Think we missed an important detail? Tell us. We appreciate careful readers — and we take feedback seriously.

This page has two quick options: suggest a correction for an existing article, or submit a name you’d like us to cover. Some messages are short. Some are detailed. Both are welcome.

Good to know: We read every submission. If your suggestion improves accuracy, clarity, or usefulness, we’ll incorporate it — usually quickly. Sometimes within hours. Occasionally within a few days.

Option 1: Suggest a Correction

If you’re referring to a specific page, please include the link and tell us what should change. The clearer you are, the faster we can fix it. Simple.

  • Page URL (the exact article link)
  • What’s wrong (typo, example, definition, nuance)
  • What you suggest (the corrected version)
  • Optional: a source (dictionary, style guide, reputable reference)

Tip: If your correction is based on a specific authority (for example, Oxford, Merriam-Webster, Cambridge, or a style guide), mention it. A single reference often resolves the question instantly.

Option 2: Submit a Name

Want us to write about a commonly misspelled word, a confusing phrase, or a tricky comparison? Submit it here. We love ideas that people genuinely search for.

  • The word(s) you want covered (example: “separate vs seperate”)
  • Context (where you’ve seen the mistake)
  • Preferred angle (spelling, meaning, usage, examples)
  • Optional: any related words you want included

We can’t publish everything immediately, but submissions help us prioritize what matters. The best suggestions are high-impact and commonly searched. Those rise to the top.

Send Your Suggestion

Use the form below (if available) or email us directly. Either works. If you include enough detail, we can usually respond faster and update the page more confidently.

Email a Correction / Name

We may edit for clarity. Sometimes we shorten, reword, or reorganize submissions to match our style. We keep the meaning. We keep the intent. We make it readable.

What Happens After You Submit?

  1. We review your message and check the relevant page or term.
  2. We verify details using trusted sources, examples, and usage context.
  3. We update the article if needed, and refine wording so it’s clear and consistent.
  4. If your submission requires a new post, we place it in our editorial queue.

Some changes are obvious. A missing letter. A broken link. A clunky sentence. Those get fixed fast. Others require more careful judgment — especially when usage differs between American and British English. In those cases, we may explain both.

Thank you for helping improve the site. Good language resources are built by people who notice details.
