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 erotic to erratum.
The DSM-5 has "erotomania" as a symptom of "delusional disorder"
https://psychcentral.com/disorders/erotomania-delusions-of-love
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotomania
The word of the episode is "erratic".

I read from eristic to erosive.
The erlenmeyer flask is good for swirling.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlenmeyer_flask
Wow, there are a lot of love/lust deities, including Eros, Cupid, and many I've never heard of.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eros
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_love_and_lust_deities
I still don't totally understand Eros (as opposed to the Death Drive), but it's an interesting concept, I guess, and seems to be about creating life or creation in general. Hmmm.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eros_(concept)#Freud
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_drive
The word of the episode is "erogenous".

I read from ergonovine to ERISA.
In the mid-100s, the Erie people were almost completely exterminated because of 5 years of fighting with the Iroquois.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erie_people
Eris, the Dwarf Planet, is named after Eris, the Greek Goddess, because "'Eris caused strife and discord by causing quarrels among people,' said Brown in 2006, 'and that's what this one has done too.'"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eris_(dwarf_planet)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eris_(mythology)
The word of the episode is "ergot".

I read from erenow to ergonomics.
As RuPaul said, "You Better Erg."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erg
This discussion on "ergative" is above my pay grade.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergative_case
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labile_verb
The word of the episode is "ergonomics".

I read from erbium to eremurus.
If you, or someone you love is dealing with erectile dysfunction, I'm sure these links and talking to a professional will help, but I am not a doctor of any kind so I am not legally responsible for your actions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erectile_dysfunction
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_dysfunction
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/erectile-dysfunction/symptoms-causes/syc-20355776
I bet many engineers used to love playing with Erector sets.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erector_Set
The ionosphere is so much more complicated than you even think, unless you're an ionosphereologist.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionosphere

I read from -er to erato.
If I'm reading this correctly, the Equal Rights Amendment was proposed in 1923 (over 100 years ago!) and still hasn't been added. Hmmmm.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Rights_Amendment
"Zwinglianism" is a fun word to say. Go ahead, try it. "Zwinglianism"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theology_of_Huldrych_Zwingli

I read from equiv to ER.
Logics seems like a good thing to learn, and part of that is "logical equivalence".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_equivalence
It seems like there was a bit of a leap in "equivocal" from "of identical sound" to "of doubtful signification".
https://www.etymonline.com/word/equivocal#etymonline_v_29748
The word of the episode is "equivoque".

I read from equatorial to equilibrant.
Hopefully this will help you understand that one definition of "equidistant" which seems like it was about "projection".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuthal_equidistant_projection
The word of the episode is "equatorward".
