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.

I read from deuteranope to devaluation.
Deuterium is heavy hydrogen:

Deuteronomy means "second law"!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Deuteronomy
Deuterostomes are named that because their anus is their second mouth. Really!
Well, not really. It just means that the anus forms before the mouth, but it does mean "second mouth"!

Before the Deutsche Mark, Germany used the Reichsmark, among other forms of currency.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Mark
East Germany used the East German Mark until the wall toppled over.

The word of the episode is "deuteranopia".
