The Dictionary

Education EN ↓ 2226 afleveringen

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.

#A126 (allelopathy to alleviate) 14.06.2019 7:32

I read from allelopathy to alleviate. Some info about the history of the Allen wrench (aka: hex key). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_key I went down a bit of a rabbit hole with the etymology for the word "allergy". It comes from the two Greek word "allos" and "ergon" but I found 4 or 5 sources (including this dictionary) that disagree with how to translate "ergon". It's so interesting! I stil...
