Yup, Edward VII (the 7th) reigned from 1901 to 1910.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_VII
The word of the episode is "edutainment".
The word was first used by Disney in the 1950s, but then again in the 1970s by National Geographic which seems like that's when it started to catch on more.

I read from edema to edge city.
It looks like scientists have since replaced "edentata" with the more accurate Superorder "Xenarthra" which absolutely sounds like an alien race in a 1980s movie.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenarthra
The word of the episode is "edge city".

If "eddy current" seems like it should be related to water, that's because the term DOES come from the similar phenomenon in water.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current
The word of the episode is "edacious".

32 min - #E21 (ectoparasite to eczema)
I read from ectoparasite to eczema.
So is it a coincidence that ECU and écu are spelled the same?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Currency_Unit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89cu
Ecumenism is about unity! But not unity across all religions. Personally, I don't care for organized religion, but you gotta do what's right for you.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecumenism
The terms "eczema" and "dermatitis" are often used interchangeably because it's an inflammation of the skin.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatitis
This YouTube video is where I heard about the black and white version of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
https://youtu.be/ItbCLh4Auoo?si=93AnYhb7knSflyxB
And this is Soderbergh's blog post with the full video. I will definitely have to watch this someday because it looks beautiful

32 min - #E20 (ecotoxicology to -ectomy)
I read from ecotoxicology to -ectomy.
I think fans of this show are an ecotype from the rest of the human species. I'm not of the science of that, but I'm sure it's true.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecotype
I'm just going to use "ectoderm" to describe all of these things:
"Generally speaking, the ectoderm differentiates to form epithelial and neural tissues (spinal cord, peripheral nerves and brain). This includes the skin, linings of the mouth, anus, nostrils, sweat glands, hair and nails,[3] and tooth enamel."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectoderm
Somatotypes (which include "ectomorphic") does not seem like goo science.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatotype_and_constitutional_psychology#The_three_types
Listen to Weird Al's song here:
https://youtu.be/dNky_uNl1gk?si=klpvG2Ib7NUzg__P
I truly hope some of these -ectomies are not performed anymore except in medically necessary conditions.
Van Gogh performed his own auriculectomy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_-ectomies
The word of the episode is "ecstasy".

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.
