  • I would like to request that we stop using political figures in examples of word usage. I thought we were trying to build & improve vocabulary here, not score "gotcha's" using vulgar language and unflattering portrayals. We have varying opinions. Get over it & post in appropriate venues. What I just saw after looking up refractory and intractable is an example of what is unwelcome, thank you.

  • That's not really how it works around here, John.

    Perhaps if you stick around a little longer, you'll realize that wordnik is about including as many words and definitions as possible, flattering or otherwise.

    The definitions included under an entry (ie. "The Century Dictionary" or "Wiktionary") have nothing to do with wordnik. These are merely a collection of sources gathered from the internet. 

    As for comments and examples of usage, all are welcome--unless they're spam.
