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?
