The definition says "In a yellowish way". How can a way be yellowish? Does this make any sense?--Yair rand 06:34, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
- From a book: "The sugar mill worker yellowishly tinges all that he touches merely by touching it." He tinges it in a yellowish way. Equinox ◑ 08:51, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

- I changed "way" to "manner" which, I think, is a slightly more flexible term. -- WikiPedant 14:19, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
- That quotation doesn't support the definition at all. From that quotation (alone), it looks like this means “with yellow”. Yellowish is the result, not the way or manner. —Michael Z. 2009-08-09 01:28 z
- Passed with a tweak to the definition. Equinox ◑ 18:03, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
