The wonderful lexicographer @susie_dent received a rather appropriate Doctor of Letters from the University this afternoon, presented by none other than our Chancellor and her sometime Dictionary Corner companion @GylesB1 Congratulations to everyone celebrating today 🎓
We had fun today. Even the Lord Lieutenant approved.
@SomethingRhymes Fun episode. Hope Gyles arrived OK in the end! May I respectfully suggest, however, that it's not LATROGENIC (with an L) but IATROGENIC (in an i)?

@SomethingRhymes Enjoyed this episode very much indeed. Just wondering about the origin of yard as I heard this year (perhaps on another podcast) that yard (in the US sense) originated from the French ‘jardin’. Also elderly relatives in Cheshire used to always call the back Garden ‘the yard’.
