I'd like to suggest to all dictionary writers in the future to add
conotation, context, and frequency to their entries. We live in an age
that requires pertinence, and formal, simple definitions just don't cut
it. Readers, especially non-native speakers, need more than simple
definitions. They need the emtotive element, which is lacking in
dictionaries.
