It's there in the URL but not when you look it up.

What about if users could comment on the words or if there was a little flag button for mistakes?

Also it could be merged with this: http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/gelido

The website is wrong. The words "gélido, gélida" always has a tilde. It is a word with the strong accent in the "penúltima sílaba" (Esdrújulas) and those always have a tilde.
