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 Epicurean to epidemiology.
Epicurus very humbly founded Epicureanism. I do appreciate that it's about peace of mind and freedom from fear.

I read from epic to epicurean.
Here's a list of 10 epic poems in case you need something to keep yourself busy for a while.

One possible explanation for why some people have an epicanthic fold is because it "...is often associated with greater levels of fat deposition around the eyeball. The adipose tissue is thought to provide greater insulation for the eye and sinuses from the effects of cold, especially from freezing winds, and to represent an adaptation to cold climates."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicanthic_fold
The word of the episode is "epicene".

I read from envisage to enzymology.
Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay, AKA: ELISA, is very sciencey and smart and probably used for very important things.
Plus it's got an easy acronym!

I read from entree to entry.
So the entree wasn't the main dish originally? Things change!

For "entrepreneur," we should bring back "manager or promoter of a theatrical production".

I read from entorhinal to entrecôte.
The entorhinal cortex seems pretty important. It's "a widespread network hub for memory, navigation, and the perception of time."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entorhinal_cortex
"Entrechat" really just means "intertwined". I'm still not sure about the "capriola".
But I did learn that "capriola intrecciata" in Italian could also mean "braided somersault" so that's fun.
The word of the episode is "entr'acte".
