oxford-cli's Issues

Definition for "grill" does not appear

I was looking up "grill" today and it came up with "Opp! No results". That word does exist on the website and appears to also work with the API.

I think I have tracked down the problem to line 28:

pronunciationsStr = 'Pronunciations: ' + lexicalEntrie['pronunciations'][0]['phoneticSpelling'] + '\n'

Specifically, lexicalEntrie['pronunciations'] does not appear to be working as intended for that one word... That is the only word I have come across so far that does this.

I can't look at it in any more detail at the moment so that is all the information I have at the moment apart from the fact that other words work... for instance, barbecue is working right now, so it isn't a problem with my internet connection.
