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.

#E9 (easily to easterly)

Thursday Sep 14, 2023

I read from easily to easterly.

So there's North (0) and East (90). Halfway between those is Northeast (45). Halfway between Northeast and East is East-Northeast (67.5). And halfway between East and East-Northeast and East by North (78.75).

Easter is essentially a celebration of Spring and rebirth, but these days it's largely a religious celebration. Personally, I'm good celebrating rebirth.

The word of the episode is "easter egg".
