[Lexicog] A Case for Connotation

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.
