Description
iTunes Summary

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.

To tide you over until the Letter E REALLY starts (in early August or September), here's a clip from the first episode.

But if you were a Patron on Patreon (link below), you'd be getting the entire first episode in full!

There has NEVER been a better time to become a patron. ;)

I read from dysentery to dysplasia.

Info about Klinefelter syndrome.

If you have dyslexia, I'd be curious to know what that's like for you.

If maybe you should check out the Dyslexie font!

The dynasties of China are vast! There's, like, more than 10!

The dyne is typically used to figure out surface tension.

I read from dyad to dynamism.

Current diarchies include: Andorra, Bhutan, Northern Ireland, San Marino, and Israel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diarchy

When I die I want to be a dybbuk! ;)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dybbuk

Dynamism (in metaphysics) sounds fascinating but I would probably have to take a lot of classes to actually understand it. There's too many big words!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamism_(metaphysics)

The word of the episode is "dynamic".

I read from DVD to dy- with Christophe.

If you're in Santa Barbara on June 10, 2023 (only a week after this airs), check out the Santa Barbara Surf Film Festival! (and use the code WETWETTIE)

Christophe will have 2 films playing there!

From Christophe: "One is 'Standing On Water' (link to YouTube below); the doc about my life, surfing, and dwarfism. And then a surfing retrospective film about Allen Sarlo, the "King Of Malibu". That one is called Allen Sarlo's Super 8 Time Capsule."
