I am wondering how to use these three options effectively. Is there an existing thread that explains the differences among these options and what strategies one could adopt?
My assumption is that:
- Ignore means the sentence is removed entirely / hidden and not counted towards any stats, meaning it will be removed even from “Playing” (have not tested this theory, so confirmation would be appreciated).
- Mark as Known marks the word as “Mastered” with a review date in year 2100. It still counts towards number of words “Mastered”
- Mastered sets the sentence at 100% mastered, and the sentence then follows the regular review schedule for 100% mastered words
(Initially I thought Remove from Review (the option that is available under the % mastered bar in the edit box) was similar to Ignore but I saw in another thread that it means the sentence is reset and whatever % mastered becomes zero)
Would you agree that the best way to remove the sentences that I don’t need to review again (e.g., Bonjour!) is to use the Mark As Known button rather than the Ignore button? I recently learned that the “Ignore all” option which appears when you click the Ignore button allows you to ignore all sentences that contain the same missing word from that collection, which seems efficient for words that couldn’t be different in different contexts, again like bonjour.
Any strategies or thoughts would be helpful and appreciated!
