Gems, if not diamonds, still come over the transom at Twitter. This beautiful Easter story about a newly discovered treatise on how to decide the date of Easter: https://twitter.com/chaprot/status/1247541150136676353?s=20 It’s a great thread, not only because it captures a heated debate about when to celebrate (CLEARLY ON THE 25TH OF MARCH, NO CLEARLY ON THE […]

You can simply copy the relevant word or two into a Problem report with the dictionary entry or the text you were reading, but some of you send images.
