By heck it is. I don't look at it very often, if at all, but some one
posted a link elsewhere. That page was awful, any word that was even
vaugely "difficult" had a simple explanation in brackets after it. Things
like "incision (small cut)". Made reading the information very much
harder that it should be.

This a web page FFS! Link the "difficult" words to a glossary entry or is
clicking a word to "difficult" as well? If so have a the text that would
be in the brackets appear in a float over box. Don't disrupt the flow of
the text.
