one of the worst things about the current WP GUI is that when you hover over a hyperlinked word with the expectation that your anxious yearning for the definition of that word be fulfilled you're often forced to click through to the actual page, because the popup lacks a concise enough representation of that word, because the definition could not be contained within that small a space, or, the definition of the word succeeds some initial ramblings about the origins of the word, or of its inventors, which does not lead to me understanding the word and makes my WP deep dives less pleasurable.
I want WP to solve this with NLP.
