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.
