Is there a list of improved keywords?

#1
I know that in the study section for each kanji there is sometimes a user-added note about how the keyword Heisig chooses may not be helpful. I was wondering if there is a compiled list of all these selections so I don't have to dig through all the custom stories.

Thanks

Don't know of any keyword list. There's a walkthrough with improved primitive names though, here:

I highly recommend it.

Some of the suggestions are not improvements in my humble opinion.

For instance, it says that some people prefer to use "esteemed" instead of "outhouse". I would think "outhouse" would be easier to incorporate into visual stories. I least I used "outhouse" when going through RTK1.

It's an overview of the available options. Leaves the choice up to you. I remember using outhouse too, but on many occasions, I went with the alternate option, and it really helped.
