Really enjoyed this puzzle! Haven't seen a theme like this before, and it was very satisfying to get PACIFIC OCEAN and suddenly have it click what the doubled clues were for. I also always love when the location of answers within the grid is part of the theme. I see why some people found the NI HAO/ESTOS crossing frustrating, but overall I thought the fill was really strong... even if I did spend way too long banging my head against OXFORD COMMA with 100% confidence I was right.

"Digital applications" for PRESS-ON NAILS is such a fun clue/answer pair! Very clever wordplay.
