@siaronj interesting! I don't yet have the 1989 reprint in my data (I have the 1981 reprint though). Would you be be willing to email me what the text says in your dictionary?

@llyfraublaidd sure, no problem. If you like, I can make a document to attach and include photos of the entries? Are there other terms you'd like me to look for too?

@siaronj that'd be fantastic- there are a few other terms too- if you shoot me an email at llyfrenfys@gmail.com I can let you know which ones! Diolch yn fawr iawn

@llyfraublaidd As you'll see from the latest email I sent you, I was unable to find any LGBTQ+ entries in a 1993 Learners Dictionary - I hope you've found that more recent ones are a little more inclusive. (and if they're not, they jolly well should be!)
