can't access on my iPad... uses flash

I'd love to use my awesome iPad to save obsolete words, but that site uses obsolete technology, so I won't be participating...

it's a "senticous" predicament, although I'm not sure that it's ironic... but it might be ironic that senticous is one of the obsolete words.
