That’s fair enough, PeeDee.
“I am not keen on the idea of standardising posts on fifteensquared etc etc”.
I wholeheartedly agree.

Hi Sil, I have thought about underlining the definitions in the past but decided not to.

I leave it to the reader to look at the clue and see which words are not used in the commentary, those being left over are the definition. Where it is not obvious or I think there is a particular reading neccessary to make sense of the definition then I hightlight this in the commentary.

I am not keen on the idea of standardising posts on fifteensquared. I like the diverstiy of the styles on fifteen squared and standardisation would suppress creativity and future development. If all posts looked the same it would make the site a bit dull.

Many thanks PeeDee for blogging this fine Shed Lite crossword.

I like the appearance of your blog, but IMO you could improve on it by underlining the definitions (as a few others do, including me ).
[ps, it's just a friendly request, not criticism]

I liked 10ac (DOUBTLESS) best.

I thought this was great. Loved 18ac. I don’t come to the FT looking for a “real challenge”, I’m happy with an entertaining diversion. Thanks Dogberry and PeeDee.
