In case anyone from the Coundown Team is watching this, please please please bring back the dictionary!!! Pretty please?

Seeing Susie with a laptop rather than a dictionary is something we'll get used to very quickly. When those white-on-blue score displays were introduced last year they looked unusual at first just because we weren't used to them, but after a couple of weeks nobody cared.
I'm totally in favour of using the online dictionary, and it was completely the right decision. However, I have to agree that the screenshot of the entry for DIORITE didn't look right at all. What I mean is that it was noticeably vertically stretched, and the text was too small and faint. That's not a reason to switch back to the paper dictionary, though. It's just a case of tinkering with the text size/browser width/etc.
