Re the word "sinical", which your definition lists as "Of or pertaining to a sine; employing, or founded upon, sines.", may I ask why, why, WHY your five "examples" on how to use it are merely WRONG, PATHETIC MISSPELLINGS OF THE WORD "CYNICAL", instead of an actual usage of "sinical"??!!
It is bad enough that people can no longer compose literate, cohesive sentences, but to use these "examples" by writers who clearly cannot spell elementary words correctly, is doing a massive injustice to Wordnik's professional image, and NOTHING for the quasiliterates who actually wrote those sentences.

Examples are drawn from various databases of text. Errors of language use - Wordnik, and I don't speak on behalf of it, does not claim either prescriptivity or purity - provide nonetheless useful food for thought.
I am dismayed by your awkward use of a comma after correctly.
