		<description><![CDATA[I agree with Pelham&#039;s point about alternative spellings in unchecked letters. 

I enjoy doing crosswords from newspaper archives.
In a January 1935 crossword from The Scotsman newspaper, the answer
to an ambiguous clue could have been INDOLENT or INSOLENT. 
Next day, D/S was neatly squeezed into the third square of the solution!

Come on FT, for YANGTZE, give us S/Z in the sixth square tomorrow!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#039;Get zany&#039;, or &#039;gets any&#039;, depending on which version, could give you a start. Unless you go for YANGZI, also a variant. 

I&#039;ve recently been pulled up on a CD for TRIUMVIRI, which could - as I now realise - just as easily be TRIUMVIRS, especially with the last letter unched. &#039;Long distance runner in the East&#039; I suspect might also be criticised as there are other long Asian rivers: Yangtze is the longest, however.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks Sleuth for an enjoyable crossword and Ringo for the blog. My favourite clue was 17dn: somehow the pieces just fit together nicely.

7dn: I wrote YANGTSE. Thanks To Miche@3,4 for pointing out that there are alternative spellings. Given that the alternative spellings differ in an unchecked letter, I feel that the answer requires a full cryptic clue with wordplay that removes the ambiguity.

28ac: Here we have exactly what was needed in 7dn. The use of an anagram prevents (or, at least, should prevent) anyone from mis-spelling Sir Alf&#039;s surname as RAMSAY.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks, Ringo. A couple of minor things:

You&#039;ve written YANGTSE at 7d. So did I at first, but it&#039;s YANGTZE.

5d is an anagram, not a reversal.

I didn&#039;t get 16a. Sometimes it&#039;s the little ones that defeat you...]]></description>
