>>>>>>>Critics welcome.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>I completed it, but I have to say there were a couple that I'm not sure I really understand. for example, 'inane' for 'proving unintelligent design'. Is that a crossword definition, or a personal viewpoint espousal? Not that I disagree, but is it really a definition?

>>>>>With this one I realized I didn't have a good definition, but it was a bit too late, so I made do with, well, what you saw.

>>>>>>Now this is a little picky, I know, but 'and' is a conjunction. A conjunction connector? You mean something that connects two or more conjunctions?
>>>>>
>>>>>Conjunction is a way to put two statements together: A and B is a conjunction, "and" is just the operator between A and B that makes that particular thing a conjunction. I.e. I used the Boolean algebra instead of grammar. A stretch, I admit.

>>>>>>Overall though, not bad at all. Took me longer than I expected, I must admit. I suppose because it's been so long since I read Dune, and I needed to fill in a number of letters in the Dune clue answers in order to jog my memory.

>>>>I have a question about 17 down - 'COAXES'? I'd have bet the farm on 'HOAXES', but of course that would have made 16 across into nonsense. Coaxes? I am unfamiliar with that term in that vein. Coaxes is correct?

>>>Were you looking at the same puzzle as I? There is no 17 down on what I saw.

>>You were probably doing his first one - the Dune puzzle. I was talking about the 2nd one based on VFP and general computer stuff.

It's in his reply to me about the first one, and look above this line about 12 lines (including blank lines).
