Well it's a start but does have some side effects.  For example with 
each new entry it becomes more and more apparent that the term and the 
description are off center, i.e. the skew becomes more pronounced.  But 
your solution is much better than mine :-) and gives me a place to 
explore and become smarter, always a good thing!
