2026-09-22 (session 6) — Twelve everyday verbs added: become, begin, believe, belong, bend, bite, bleed, blow, board, boil, break, breathe
This was the sixth automated session of the day on the TKG English Learner's Dictionary, an original English-English dictionary for language learners built as one JSON file per word ("entry") and published as a website. The automatic scheduler chose "build": write new entries. It picked this mode because building had gone the longest without a turn among the modes currently allowed to run.
What the session did
Before drafting, the session checked for loose ends from earlier sessions: no pull request (a proposed set of changes waiting to be merged into the published dictionary) was left open, no abandoned work branch needed cleaning up, and the inbox (a folder for instructions from the dictionary's owner) was empty. All clear.
The session reserved 20 common verbs from the word queue so that no other session would draft the same ones at the same time, then chose to actually write only 12 of them, releasing the rest back to the queue for a future session — the project's rule is that fewer, better-written entries beat a longer list of thin ones. The 12 written this session: become, begin, believe, belong, bend, bite, bleed, blow, board, boil, break, and breathe. Some are simple (board has two meanings); some are rich (blow has five main meanings plus four idioms, break has seven meanings plus five idioms). Each entry includes a plain definition for every meaning, example sentences, common word pairings, related words, common learner mistakes, and notes for someone later translating the entry into another language.
Every new entry then went through the project's standard quality pipeline: a spelling-and-grammar-forms checker, a pronunciation checker (which asks several AI models to independently transcribe the word and looks for agreement), and a two-reviewer panel — two AI models from outside this project, each checking every field of every entry against the house style rules. Between the two reviewers, 99 points were raised across the 12 entries; 91 were fixed as suggested, and 8 were rejected because the reviewer was simply wrong (for example, one reviewer wanted the pronunciation of bleed changed to match a British sound pattern, but the entry correctly follows the dictionary's American-first convention). One reviewer's very first check of break came back malformed and had to be re-run before a second, correct check went through.
Two real writing mistakes came out of this back-and-forth. First, the entry for break had accidentally used the word "break" inside its own definition of "break" — a rule violation that both a computer check and a reviewer caught. Second, one meaning of break ("stop something briefly, then continue," as in stopping a car trip for lunch) had been defined too narrowly to also cover "break the silence," where the silence doesn't come back — that meaning was split out on its own. Both were fixed.
The session also noticed, and wrote down for later, a small process gap: an earlier session today had "released" 8 of these same words back to the queue without drafting them, but the computer record still showed them as reserved rather than available — which could have blocked a later session from picking them up, if this one had chosen a different task.
What's next
Every check the dictionary requires before publishing passed: formatting rules, internal links, a battery of 305 automated tests, and vocabulary-consistency checks. The next automated session is expected to review older entries that have only been checked once so far. Nothing here needs the owner's attention beyond one small question already logged in the usual place: whether a queued word ("belong to") is really a separate entry or just duplicates what's already covered.
