:Indeed. It looks like I've fallen in the evil trap of armchair wiki editing, and forgot to test the readability of the result. At first sight, it would have seemed that by having the words in one column and the definitions in another you can browse through the words easier, without your gaze being caught by the definitions. But now I see that wiki definitions allow you to browse easily through the words ''and'' through the definition (without bumping into an endless wall of text).

I'm wondering if the table format, while helpful in organizing this, isn't the best way. Wiki does support definition lists like:

Term 1
Definition 1
Term 2
Definition 2

and so on. The table is a step above what was here, but my main worry with the table is that there are a lot of lines drawing my eyes every which way, and the left justification against that edge in the meanings columns is kind of distracting while trying to read it. I don't know either though if the definition list will be any better, so any thoughts? --Fyzixfighter 05:58, 16 October 2007 (CEST)

Indeed. It looks like I've fallen in the evil trap of armchair wiki editing, and forgot to test the readability of the result. At first sight, it would have seemed that by having the words in one column and the definitions in another you can browse through the words easier, without your gaze being caught by the definitions.
