look, Will, buddy, pal. We need to talk about the "E" thing. You can't just keep putting "E" in front of words and clueing them as "Electronic version of thing" when it's not really a thing. E-MAIL? That's a thing. E-CARD? sure, that's a thing if you're grandma who is stuck in a 2005 version of the internet. E-MONEY or E-CASH clued as "bitcoin e.g."? shut up. E-MAG? blogs aren't even a thing any more and if they were no one would call them electronic magazines. inexcusable. same deal with "ECO".  you can't gaslight me into thinking anyone has ever said this word out loud. |

same but putting an "s" at the end of the word to make it plural. it's just lazy, and nobody talks like that!

kebab, kabob, kebob, kabob, it's hosed up that those are all acceptable spellings so when the clue is "meat on a stick" you still can't write the answer in, just k_b_b same with "mauna ______" bitch if you don't give me a clue that allows me to distinguish between mauna kea and mauna loa you can go to hell |
