Basic, but it only really took an hour or so. That's China's Three Gorges Dam project in the background.
It uses this stripped down, single- entitiy Core Data Model.

Baby steps, baby steps...

Some critical notes.
1. The 'extra' information, 'definition', 'example' etc should be in a drawer on the side. Or even to the side in the same window to make room for a larger list of words.
2. Brushed metal is probably not the best look to go with.
3. Searching for real examples through google and spotlight would be difficult to automate.
4. The border isn't needed really.
5. It's not really scalable for a large number of words.
6. All input is manual. No automation implemented yet.

On a higher note:
1. Spotlighting a word and looking for examples of words I have used was interesting. Great to see what gets mined out.
2. You can't see it here, but all the resizing and auto sizing of the elements when the window changes is pretty smooth, and was easy to do.

Improvements:
1. Remove the 'form border'
2. Put the Table flush up against the left and right of the window, and move the detailed stuff into a drawer (default right).
3. 'Add word' service in the services menu (and all the other featured really).
