In ex #6237 "有狽ｾ" sounds 文字化け for me. Is it 適格? I marked it suspicious instead of checked.
In ex #6238 ｢安物買いの銭失い」 is more "cheap things bought equals pennies lost." than "penny wise and pound foolish." from my point of view.

In ex {#6237}"有狽ｾ" be 有 no?

Ex [#6237] is from the JLPT book. It should be 有能

I've changed 有狽ｾ. Is it wrong to change the entries? I mean, if you know that the right word is X (based on the translation and the first kanji)?

ex #6238 the translation doesn't make sense. it should say: It isn't true that if you buy cheap goods is good - in that you will save money. 'buying cheap goods you will lose money.' (so, yes, 'pennywise and pound foolish' is acceptable and makes sense now with the more clear explanation.
