ReplyDeleteThank you Guns, Prasanna,Gowri and of course Col.
Happy Mother's Day to all.
thank you ! and such lovely artwork - makes today all the more special! A very happy mother's day to all !
DeleteIt is 9A and not 3A.
ReplyDeleteEveryman:I?
ReplyDeleteOne small doubt - why is everyman I'd?
ReplyDeleteTwice it is clued here. So want to clarify.
I picked that up from the Sunday cryptic over the years...there Everyman is synonymous with 'me' or 'I'. So everyman would becomes I'd....
DeleteI thought so. Sunday cryptic everyman isnthe setter. Setter in first person is I. So you should have used guns instead of everyman.
DeleteActually the setter of the puzzle appearing in The Sunday Observer( and with a time lag in The Hindu) is Everyman. You cannot put Everyman for I. You may have put Commander.
Deletewell said by Vasanth. first time it appears the word everyman. But without seening i was trying the anno. as 'ALL' by over cofindent as the word everyone.
DeleteThis is new learning for me !! Thank you all !
DeleteHappy Mothers day to all.

DeleteThanks for the special Ganapathi Sir
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, such a pleasure to receive this response!
ReplyDeleteSome feedback for improvement, if I may ? 27A. A TRINITY is not a regular or valid phrase. LOW-RATED also doesnt seem to be a phrase in the dictionaries. Phrases and idioms that are not standard (or a common term one could find in Wiki, say) arent usually used

ReplyDeleteThanks for the special Guns. I thought I will add my feedback (not including root issues :)) here since I noticed there are so many non standard abbreaviaitons in this puzzle. Everyman = I already discussed
ReplyDelete8 A - Salt = S, Clove = C?
20 D - Family = F, God = G?
23 D - Larry = L, Diana = D?
32 A - Divine = DD? (Should be doctor of divinty or theologist)
15 A - Limit = TL? Rising cannot be used as a reversal ind in an across clue
13A - The clue needs saint instead of priest IMO since it is an abbreviation
18D - Hard is an anagrind?
9A - End = E?
31A - Express = E?
16D - Expression = E, Rhythm = R?
15ac - i thought rising is tall & hence tall limit is TL.
ReplyDeleteBut there is no abbreviation as tall limit = TL!
DeleteNo i mean take the outer letters - limit
ReplyDeleteDon't think rising is tall. Raised up could be tall. Also Limit is singular.
DeleteLimit as Lt and rising as rebelling could be justified. But always better to avoid such ambiguity.
