Trivia: a speaker stands ON a podium, BEHIND a lectern.
Remember Latin: pod (or ped) is a root for foot (podiatry, pedestrian), lect is a root for read (lecture, lexicon).
Thanks, Petronski, I love that sort of thing. Yes, I am very pedantic and can be a huge pain. Ask my girls.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank you.
