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 erythrism to escadrille.

Erythropoiesis is the process of making red blood cells and until you're about 5 years old, "The bone marrow of essentially all the bones produces red blood cells."

WARNING: This link about "erythroblastosis fetalis" has a tough-to-look-at picture.

ESB seems like it has a lot of uses, but I don't love that it's used on animals. But I get it. Scientists aren't going to jump to humans right away.

The word of the episode is "erythrocyte".
