As an aside, the usage of a smaller dictionary online is intentional and not all bad. Something like the collegiate could be less helpful than smaller ones--people end up typing 'incudes' [sic] and finding a definition (plural of 'incus') rather than getting a hint that it's probably a typo for 'includes'. Shrug ... that's most people. Me, I'm a size queen, I love my OED.
You should sent this in to Webster's. Maybe they'll rise to the occasion.
P.S. I've been having fun with the "A Word A day (AWAD)" email list. Try a Google search if you're interested...the emails from them have been a treat!
