That's a bug, it should already be at the previous choice. Thx.

ObLang: I hate using "last" for something that is not final, so
I use 'previous' or 'latest' or similar for things that (may)
repeat, like years or thursdays or whatever. To me, "last
thursday" means that after that thursday there will never be a
thursday again, either because thursdays cease to exist or
because the thursday-experiencer ceases to exist.

I'll look into pushing XML or XHTML+microformats over dict too,
as plaintext can be a bit too plain at times (doesn't allow
clickable crossreferences for instance).
