Why isn't every definition for a word listed / why are some of the words so easy?
We skip familiar definitions known by a majority of English speakers. For example, since we consider the words meet, souse, and sleeper elementary vocabulary, books using these words only in the everyday sense are skipped:
- skipped:Bob failed to meet us because he is a heavy sleeper when he is soused.
- included:It would be meeter for Bob to eat souse on sleepers when trains are not coming.
