Thanks for the notes about the bad century data. We're working on a total overhaul on that data but in the mean time, we've fixed the consanguineous and pyknotic issues.
Hi Marky, hope you enjoy the wordnik api. We'll be opening up access to lists shortly--I'd love to hear what you'd like to do with them. Send me a note on my profile, or via old-school email.
Sure thing--there are a couple different parts. First, for definitions, if we have a case-sensitive match to what you put, we'll show that. We'll also show you what else there is, like Turkey vs. turkey. Both have definitions. The next part is variants--for instance "ice cream" vs. "ice-cream" vs "icecream". Again, we want to show you the data that you are looking for, and in this case the orthographic variants should be displayed. Finally for UGC, we're prototyping a few different ways to filter between commenting on "Turkey" and commenting on "turkey" and letting the user decide how to view them.
The delay has only been because we want to get it right :)
