Revision as of 15:45, September 25, 2008
Delete every one of these articles please. This list is ridiculous - you have an entry for "alongside", but not "along" or "side". You have "assisted suicide" but not "suicide" or "assisted". You have "Godspeed" but not "Hello" or "Goodbye". You don't have "the" or "and". "Illumination and Calligraphy"? - not a word. You have 195 words or phrases in your dictionary, leaving only another 10,000 or so before you've even covered the range of words used by most English speakers.
Absurd.
