# Words that should be added/modified
| Word | Occurence | Explanation |
| :----------------------- | :---------------------------- | :---------------------- |
| pique | no.1007 | Meaning does not seem to fit example |
| respectively | no.652 | meaning starts mid-word? |
| reticence | no.790 | meaning cuts off mid-word, maybe delete this one or _reticent_ (no.654) since it's pretty much identical |
| ribald | no.1018 | formatting issue in explanation |
| sanguine | no.1020 | maybe move end of meaning to explanation |
| peruse | no.577 | missing "peruse" in 2nd example, maybe remove triple exclamation marks, looks cheap. (An underline does the same) |
| rarefy | no.640 | add line break between meanings |
| screen | no.668 | move example from explanation to example column |
## Example pictures for weird formatting
<div style="text-align:center"><img src="/../assets/para.png" alt="para" width="600"/></div>
