@Sylvie I mean, it is a FACE TAT(TOO) after all? Good clue for that entry, could have been something less interesting/unique for international audiences. I don't think that simplification of definition undermines its tapu in Te Ao Māori. Pretty cool to have it feature in NYT crossword - and hopefully lead people here to learn about it's complexity!
@Dave K. Your FACETAT is my TAFFYPULL - I was delighted to have something so local greet me in the grid today. And great to learn something new, no?
Curses, the one time I remember to correct ECG to EKG for the US, they switch it up on me.
Great puzzle! As always, hampered by US-specific things, but getting better. Had fun with the SW corner: not au fait with lumberjack things or MLB royalty, I had EMIR for a prince, giving BLUES for the doldrums. Love those fun alternatives!
