What I have to say about lecterns and podiums\u00a0is academic, but nevertheless worth mentioning.<\/p>\n

A podium is a raised platform on which a speaker (or an athlete) stands (look left.)\u00a0 A lectern is the upright object on which he or she places her papers (look right.)<\/p>\n

I know this because my schoolboy Latin tells me so.\u00a0 Podium, as I remember, comes from the Latin word pes, pedis<\/em> which means foot<\/em>.\u00a0 Think of the word pedal <\/em>or podiatrist.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lectern\u00a0comes from lectere<\/em>, meaning to read.<\/em> Think of the word lecture.<\/em><\/p>\n
