When I was Brainiac, I tried to be sure to do any minor editing
required to present the definitions in a uniform format.  I think
that this is appropriate.  In the version if this game that is played
in person, I am used to the "Brainiac" _reading_ all the definitions,
thus obscuring any differences in formatting.
