Misspellings!
I have a frustrating problem. I uploaded a spreadsheet of 450 common Turkish nouns I want to learn. I paid careful attention to spelling, etc. However, when I uploaded the list, my correctly-spelled words were replaced with misspelled ones. E.g. 'doğu' was replaced with 'dogu' and 'barış' with 'barıs'. 'ğ' and 'g' are not the same letter, they represent phonemes and as such have distinct pronunciations and can cause a difference in meaning when used incorrectly. Likewise with 's' and 'ş'. I'd really appreciate it if this could be fixed, it took me forever to make the spreadsheet. Thanks!

I only noticed this problem with a course after I'd committed about 40 new words to memory. Now I have to unlearn the incorrect spellings! Is there a way to delete them from my garden so I don't keep going over and over and making the same mistake?
Posted by canaiden 5/15/12 (1 year ago)Not sure exactly what caused the issue (probably related to "encodings"). But I have been through and corrected a whole bunch. Did you load them to a particular course? Or if you send me your spreadsheet I can take a closer look - username at gmail.
Posted by wwkudu 5/26/12 (1 year ago)I suggest you use the "table" feature in Microsoft Word and paste the correctly-spelled words into a table. So that you are looking at a table in an MS Word document. MS Word can keep special characters more easily than MS Excel can.
