Thank you[change]
Thank you for your recent edits! They are generally useful and well structured. When it comes to synoyms and antonyms, the preferred format it in line like this {{synonyms|first|second|third}}. Thanks again! --Brett (talk) 10:27, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Synonyms[change]
One more thing about synonyms & antonyms: the idea on the simple English wiktionary is that these elements are useful aids to understanding and remembering. They are not supposed to be used like a thesaurus. Often language learners or children will simply substitute a synonym that they don't understant, commonly with odd results. For these reasons, we try to select the most common synonyms and antonyms that are likely to be known. Almost always, this means limiting ourselves to synonyms and antonyms that are simpler and more frequent than the headword. For example, with frigidly, you might consider reducing {{synonyms|aloofly|cheerlessly|coldly|cold-heartedly|drearily|forbiddingly|frostily|hostilely|standoffishly}} to {{synonyms|coldly|cold-heartedly|frostily|hostilely}}.--Brett (talk) 15:13, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
it means[change]
Avoid it means in definitions. For example, instead of If something is cold, it means it is low in temperature, use If something is cold, it is low in temperature.--Brett (talk) 15:23, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
