I don't think it is giving much away to say that I did not submit the
default definition.  I also do not think it is giving much away to say that
I later saw the ing word used and figured out an approximation of its
actual definition.  I attempted to submit this as a new or changed
definition, but after perusing the rules, we came to the conclusion that I
could not do so.

I think that this should be tweaked, in that as long as the definitions are
still out, you should be able to change yours.  Anyone else have any comments?

So... planning on voting for a definition any time soon?

I'm thinking you gave too much away.


But to answer your question, I don't see any particular reason *not* to
allow people to submit a new definition.

I'm certainly waiting for the same thing after seeing the original post.

I also don't see any reason to not allow such a change.
