feedback tab
At narrower viewport widths, the "feedback" tab on the left margin can obscure part of the main body of the page. I see this in Opera 9.63/Linux and Firefox 3.0.7/Linux. Increasing the main body's minimum left margin should fix this.

Add a global activity feed for all of wordnik

allow 140 chars for feedback and flutter it
feedback is the best. make it more prominent if you can, filter up top feedback ideas to browsers, et-c! there are lots of interesting complex trans-word ideas that might be cool for lots of people but only thought of casually by one in a thousand editors...

prepositions
I'd love to have easy access to the prepositions used with the words I look up. To some degree this can be done by searching through the sample sentences; maybe a new preposition feature would be a subset of that data. Or perhaps word/prep combos become their own entries.
14 votesAdminWordnik (Admin, Wordnik) respondedThanks! That’s a great suggestion and a feature we are actively developing. Stay tuned!

Have an antonyn option for the word in questions
For example what is the oposite of confident
1 voteAdminWordnik (Admin, Wordnik) respondedThanks! We’re working on adding more related words, including antonyms.
How about “bashful” as an antonym of “confident”?

Change the layout
There is a lot of information that your trying to put on one page, so I can understand the difficulty, but the layout is a little difficult to follow. Maybe move the stats, I don't think it's as important or interesting as the pictures. You could make the 'explore this word' more prominent and have everything else more spaced out down the page instead of squashed together.
10 votesAdminWordnik (Admin, Wordnik) respondedThanks for your feedback! And yes, we DO have a lot to show, so we’ll be experimenting with different layouts and view options.

The statistics are incorrect for 'news'. It is not rare
The statistics are incorrect for 'news'. It is not a rare word, I have definitely seen it before. Can users help correct such errors?
4 votesAdminWordnik (Admin, Wordnik) respondedThank you!
Soon we’ll have a way for users to give us feedback on the frequency ratings. Right now we’re fighting a little bug in the statistics counter. It should be resolved soon!

clearer user interface for actions on a word
It was slightly hard to find how to tag a word. Its hidden away in the "contributions" area on the right side, and "Add a tag to this word" is wordy. I would like to see action buttons or links with very short names, like "Tag this" so they jump out.

In "Tags" fix: 1 people have marked this word as a favorite.
In the Tags section when 1 person has tagged the word change the sentence to read:
1 person has marked this word as a favorite rather than display:
1 people have marked this word as a favorite.1 voteAdminWordnik (Admin, Wordnik) respondedWe have a fix in the works for this, and it should be updated in the next few days!
We loves our subject-verb agreement at Wordnik. :-)

We’d love to do that … we love the OED! We’ll have to figure out how frustrating it would be to users to link to something that costs ~$250/year to access, though.
