The Dictionary episodes
- #E9 (easily to easterly)
I read from easily to easterly.
So there's North (0) and East (90). Halfway between those is Northeast (45). Halfway between Northeast and East is East-Northeast (67.5). And halfway between East and East-Northeast and East by North (78.75).
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/east_by_north
Easter is essentially a celebration of Spring and rebirth, but these days it's largely a religious celebration. Personally, I'm good celebrating rebirth.

The word of the episode is "easter egg".

30 min - #E8 (earwax to easement)
I read from earwax to easement.
Earwax is important, but if you need to clean some of it out, you must be really careful.
https://www.mountsinai.org/health-library/diseases-conditions/ear-wax
The word of the episode is "easel".
The etymology is from "ass" which is basically saying that the easel is like a donkey because you're adding a burden to it (the canvas).

Mother's don't get enough respect, especially the Earth Mother.

1 min - (NOT ”The Dictionary”) Watching and Talking about ”Gaslight” (1944)
Bonus episode for you!
This is audio-only but you can see the video version of this here:
https://youtu.be/LdnnDFmyokw
It's like we made our own commentary!
Queue up "Gaslight" from 1944 and watch this video at the same time.
We discuss a variety of topics during the commentary, including a few jabs since it IS 80 years old. But it’s a beautiful black and white film dealing with serious issues.

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.
