Can we get this term correct? They are lectern microphones. What they

I appreciate the clarification, but I checked two prominent dictionaries
and both listed one of the definitions of 'podium' as simply, 'lectern'. Misuse marches
And this, in short, is why we need a language academy like the French and
Swedes have. With authority to lock people up in jail for using "party"
as a verb.

And for spelling humour, labour, etc without a 'u', and for using 'z'
instead of 's' in '....ise' words.
