I knew as soon as I started that this was going to be a fun puzzle, and it was! Not too easy and not too hard. I still had a couple of lookups (mostly for spelling0, but considering I've only been doing the Tuesday puzzles for a couple of months, I thought that was pretty good. And I love the theme! I'm an art buff, and so this was really enjoyable. Thanks for a great Tuesday puzzle!
This was probably one of the easiest puzzles that I've done, although it's mostly because I'm old and I knew most of the answers. But it was a lovely trip down memory lane, and a fond memory of watching my beloved "Barney Miller". Thanks for a fun Monday puzzle!
As someone who worked in professional theatre (and yes, in the US, most theatre professionals use the British/Canadian spelling), I was very happy that my first instinct to spell THEATRE correctly was spot on.
I was surprised that you were surprised at the word RV-ER. I've found that pretty commonly used on a lot of message board forums related to travel.
I loved this puzzle and the theme! FWIW, I didn't figure out the theme until I had everything filled in, and even then it took me a few more seconds. Very clever! I was not clever about Cincinnati, although the question mark should have clued me in. I spent way too much time looking for a more straightforward definition. Probably because I was born and bred in Cincinnati and wanted to prove something to myself.
This was fun! And I love that two Brits created it. I like the simple ones, and I needed something like this today as my weekend was a bit stressful. I was a bit stymied on 1D until I remembered the correct spelling. My pilot brother would have been ashamed. I should add that I am 70 years old, and I have never seen Groundhog Day. I guess I have to rectify that.
Ha ha, this was really fun and a great Monday morning puzzle! I especially enjoyed Mr. Cheng's comment in the construction notes (I have a feeling it will be 47D). Like Callie, I was happy to see 29D, and am fighting off the urge to thumb through Macbeth. The theme itself just cracked me up, although I didn't get it until after I'd filled in all the circled letters and most of the cross letters. But it still made me laugh out loud. Very clever!
@susan p - I respectfully disagree. I've worked with many fibers over the years and both cashmere and angora are considered wool. Granted, it is a different type of wool than sheep wool, but it is still wool.
@Paul Nope, I think that it's a tradition that has come down through the centuries. For what it's worth, most theatre professionals are the least pretentious people I know, and would give you the shirt of their back if you asked for it.
@Lars And whiteboards are now being replaced by electronic boards. You'll still find them but most teachers prefer the Promethean and other similar boards.
@Holly You were robbed!!! I'd go back and demand justice!! :-)
@Sam Corbin I think that all ambiguous words like that should be eliminated from spelling word lists. No more betrayals!
