@Paul I share your confusion. I also think of "cuz" as short for "cousin" and think of " 'cause" as short for "because". To my ears, the words are pronounced differently.

Perhaps the easier Saturday puzzle was meant as compensation for a bonus puzzle that requires the solver to spend time thinking about reality dating programs.

SINCE and BECAUSE are not synonyms. SINCE is used to indicate temporal relationships while BECAUSE is used to indicate cause-and-effect relationships.

@Dave I'm in agreement with you regarding "since". However, most people are unaware of the since/because distinction. I work at a university and have found this error in documents written by professors and high-ranking administrators. I was asked to proofread a document for one such person, and when I made that correction, she admitted that she wasn't aware of the distinction.
