iLmrary.com publishes English vocabulary, grammar, usage, and sentence content for learners worldwide. This Corrections Policy explains how to report a mistake, how we review reports, and what happens afterwards.
Reader corrections are one of the main reasons our pages get better over time, and we would rather hear about a mistake than leave it uncorrected.
1. Our Commitment to Accuracy
We write to be accurate, natural, and dependable for students, teachers, writers, and self-study readers.
English varies by country, dialect, register, audience, and context, so some questions have more than one acceptable answer. Where that is the case, we aim to present the common and widely accepted usage and to note the variation where it matters to a learner.
When we find an error or a weak explanation, we correct it.
2. What You Can Report
Write to us about:
- Incorrect word meanings or definitions
- Wrong or unnatural example sentences
- Confusing or mistaken grammar explanations
- Incorrect synonym or antonym choices
- Spelling and punctuation mistakes
- Outdated information
- Broken links
- Errors in images, tables, or infographics
- Formatting problems that make a page hard to read
- Missing context that leaves an explanation incomplete
- Questions about a source or attribution
- Technical faults affecting a page
Formal copyright claims follow a different route. Use the process in our Copyright Policy rather than this one.
3. How to Report a Correction
Email us through our Contact page or write to contact@ilmrary.com with Correction at the start of your subject line.
To let us act quickly, include:
- The address of the page
- The exact word, sentence, table, image, or section involved
- What you believe is wrong
- The wording you would suggest instead
- A reference or source supporting the correction, where you have one
A report naming the page and quoting the exact sentence gets resolved far faster than a general comment that something on the site is wrong.
4. How We Review Reports
When a report arrives, we check the page, read the passage in its full context, and decide whether a change is needed.
Depending on what we find, we may:
- Correct a factual or language error
- Rewrite an explanation that misleads or confuses
- Replace a weak or unnatural example
- Add the context that was missing
- Update details that have gone out of date
- Fix spelling, punctuation, or formatting
- Remove material that no longer meets our standard
- Review and replace an image, table, or infographic
- Leave the page unchanged where the existing wording is defensible
5. Corrections and Style Preferences
Not every disagreement means the page is wrong.
A sentence correct in one context is unsuitable in another. A synonym that fits one sentence fails in the next. A word may read as formal, casual, regional, technical, dated, or conversational depending on where it appears. British and American conventions differ on spelling, punctuation, and grammar, and both are correct in their own settings.
We assess reports on accuracy, context, clarity, reader value, and the purpose of the page. Where a reported issue reflects a regional variant or a style preference rather than an error, we may keep the existing wording, and where the variation is worth knowing we may add a note explaining both forms.
6. Timing and Replies
We review reports as soon as we reasonably can. We do not promise a fixed turnaround, and we cannot reply individually to every message, though we read all of them.
Corrections affecting accuracy take priority over formatting and presentation issues.
7. How Corrections Appear
When we revise a page, the change is made in the content itself. Where a correction is significant enough to change the meaning of an explanation, the revision is reflected in the date shown on that page.
We do not maintain a public log of every minor edit. Small fixes to spelling, punctuation, and formatting are made without a separate notice.
8. Reader Feedback Beyond Corrections
Tell us about gaps as well as errors. If a topic is thin, an explanation leaves an obvious question unanswered, or a subject you needed is missing, that feedback shapes what we write next.
Send it the same way, with General at the start of your subject line.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Corrections Policy as our practices change. The revised date at the top of this page shows when the current version took effect.
