I fully agree. The dictionary is very important to shape the first impression 
of newcomers about LC. I have read and heard several disparaging comments about 
the documentation which are a very negative publicity for this fantastic 
product. I perfectly understand that it is far more interesting and stimulating 
for the small staff in Edinburgh to develop new features - and they are 
brilliant at that - than devote time and energy to do the house cleaning on the 
documentation. But it's a vital part of how their work is appreciated outside. 
I would suggest Kevin to establish a weekly "hour of dictionary cleaning" for 
everybody. Most of the dictionary problems could be solved in such a short time.
