Hi South Liverpool Housing. There is a row of dictionary links (icons) under each word on Wordie. Generally it's not necessary to paste dictionary definitions as those who want a definition can access it that way. If the definition is primarily for yourself, you can leave a private note. Welcome to Wordie.
