(headw1) 交渉人
(kana1) こうしょうじん
(pos1) n
(english1) Negotiator
(reference) Title of a recent movie - 交渉人:真下正義. Guessing at the reading.
(comment) I know it'd be easy for someone to look up 交渉 and just add "person" to it, but since it's together in the title I feel it should have a seperate entry in the dictionary. I tried to look up the whole title in the "translate block of text" section of your site and it paired the 人 with the 真(and guessed 似 was supposed to follow)

(headw1) 堪能
(kana1) たんのう
(pos1) adj-na
(crossref) 堪能
(comment) I would just like to offer a correction to the reading that has been entered for the above word. I believe that the current reading of かんのう (kannou) is in error. As far as I am aware, the rest of the information is correct and so I have left many of the above fields blank. I hope this helps.
