Missing sense?
[edit]Chambers 1908 has "a class of animals produced by crossing a common breed with one purer; a group of animals branching off from a common stem". Are these both adequately covered by our taxonomic sense? Equinox ◑ 22:41, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
Just as we have low-grade, as in below-grade wiring --Backinstadiums (talk) 15:08, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
Assign scores to components vs. overall performance
[edit]Our first two verb senses are:
- (chiefly Canada, US) To assign scores to the components of an academic test.
- (chiefly Canada, US) To assign a score to overall academic performance.
These seem redundant to me. Thoughts on merging them? The only reason I hesitate to do so is that I could imagine the distinction could be useful for translations. The translation tables for the two senses are almost identical, except we do have corrigir for the first sense but not the second... Colin M (talk) 14:39, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
