This is my point too. The idea isn't that we're creating _another_ dictionary
for people to use. It's something that could help _any_ one find a helpful
translation and benefit from.

Well, I could be the least English knowledgeable (a valid English word from
onelook.com :)), and I'm only a high school graduate, and didn't have the

I'm done too :)
