What are the Dictionary Policies?

- Why is it that very often I can find no translations to words that YOU have in YOUR OWN dictionary?
e.g.: genorsamante (which is your own definition of "generously")
- What is the academic or practical difference between the two sources of definitions that you are currently offering: Chambers & Velazquez?
Thank you.

probably, because you didn't spell it right. I make endless typos too but machines can only read without imagination. - annierats, Nov 21, 2011

Adverbs (with mente) are sketchy. Some have entries, but most don't. I guess they figure if you know the adjective, then you know the adverb.
generosamente. (you have to spell it correctly to find it)
Notice that generosa is listed.
Can't help you with your other question.

Thank you. But "dadivosamente" is in Spanish Dictionary for "generosity" and does NOT appear in RAE!
P.S. What 'group" do you belong to that brought my question to your attention?
Thank-you.

Rburnell, it looks like your first question here at SpanishDict. Although you also seem to have been a member for about 8 months. - Moe, Nov 21, 2011
All questions asked at SpanishDict are posted (shown) in the Forum on this web site. The group that answers questions consists of the any other members of the SpanishDict community. Is this what you were asking about? - Moe, Nov 21, 2011

Similarly for: Magnánimamente, dadivosamente, bizarramente.
