commit 17168aefaa891df887f89ef4c6c48dbd4212229c
Author: Ekaterina Gerasimova <kittykat3756 gmail com>
Date:   Sat Mar 30 14:51:36 2013 +0000

    Review help pages
    
    Fix link in legal.xml
    Review index.page and introduction.page: mark as final.
    
    Shorten prob-error-while-retrieving-definition to
    prob-retrieving-definition because it was repeating itself and it is
    best to keep page names short. Update links to match the new page ID.
    
    Similar Words shows other dictionaries in the source, not other sources.
    Update the page so that it is more precise.
