27 min - #D38 (decide to decimal)
I read from decide to decimal.
In America, a "decillion" is a 1 with 33 zeroes behind it but in other areas, it's a 1 with 60 zeroes behind it! Wha?!?!
It turns out they use words with the suffix "-ard" between each of our "-ions" so our "Billion" is their "Milliard", then they have "Billion" (our "Trillion"), then "Billiard" (our "Quadrillion"), then "Trillion" (our "Quintillion"), etc.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/decillion
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers
The word of the episode is "decidua".
When I read the definition I didn't make the connection that it's in both pregnancy and menstruation. Which really does make sense.

24 min - #D37 (decentralisation to decibel)
I read from decentralisation to decibel.
Bye bye Cerebrum:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decerebration
I figured out this “decimeter” thing. A decimeter is 1/10 of a meter, a centimeter is 1/100 of a meter, and a millimeter is 1/1000 of a meter. My brain was multiplying them by ten (millimeter to centimeter to decimeter) but that wasn’t the right way to think about it. OK, I feel better now
The word of the episode is "decibel".
How loud is something? Maybe this will help:

About The Dictionary
From the publisher's feed
I read the English Dictionary in short sections, comment on it, make bad jokes, and sometimes sing little songs. I hope it’s more entertaining than just reading the dictionary alone. It’s an evolving…
project so the letter ”A” had lower quality, plus less commenting and jokes.
