| Great idea! Adding it now.

| Thanks! Added a submission form for the new words and

| Hmm. Would you mind devoting the rest of your life to making this
| dictionary comprehensive, and keeping it updated?
|
| Slightly smaller request: could you make it possible to select
| and copy the definitions?

| Slap this in a userstyle, and it'll override lines 545-546 of
| the stylesheet, restoring the expected behaviour.

| I'll do my best to keep it updated regularly! I've added the

| The only thing I'm missing is the automatic dark mode (respecting

| Great work. Love the austere style.

| Nit: don't think you need to prefix "database" with "searchable".
| If it's a DB, searchability is implied.
