1. Allows l33t style spelling
not seeing how the decreases the value of the dictionary. if it only accepted l33t style spelling you'd have a point.
2. Really just takes a lot of other people's definitions, including those in the jargon file, which isn't how a dictionary is usually compiled
True but not seeing how this is a bad thing. you get multiple definitions instead of just one.
3. Includes value judgements on subject matter
this seems to be quite rare though. and the definition was valid... I would agree it was out of place but not THAT big a deal. It wasn't even a value judgement but a statement of fact, piracy IS illegal.
oh well i don't really see this issue as all that important. move to a diffrent dictionary if that what people prefere, who really cares?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
