In the Dictionary! (Again)

When the Merriam-Webster bot went looking for an expert on residuals, who did it find?

I’ve written to the lexicographers proposing that they revise it to “a union-negotiated payment (as to an actor, writer, director or musician) for reuse or reruns after initial exhibition (as of a movie, TV show or commercial).” We’ll see what happens.

As a reminder, you can find my residuals page at https://www.jhandel.com/residuals-hq. An updated residuals chart for 2020 will be coming soon and, eventually, an updated version of my book Entertainment Residuals: A Full Color Guide.

BTW, this isn’t my first time at the M-W rodeo. There's also this, from last year:
