Not the most important feature but it would nice to have because some other language have more irregularity than English.

Also multiple entries are in cases when you have an inflection for a regular form and a word in this form with a different meaning. It would be nice for a popup cue to suggest that there are two or more definitions.
I just looked up "mice" in the Kindle version of "The New Oxford American Dictionary" and it has a linked entry to "mouse" in the definition.
