Pronunciation pranks

Posted by Stella on July 18th, 2011

   I knew this rang a bell, Stella: you’ve had me rummaging through the archives again. See Paul’s puzzle 24,364, 25ac: Children manipulate this, said an American philosopher [5]

   Thanks for the link, Eileen, I hadn’t done that one. A little extra entertainment after an easy Chifonie this morning.
