THEME: FROM STEM TO STERN (56A: Well … or a hint to analyze some lowercase letters in four of the clues in this puzzle)— you have to read “m” as “r n” if you want to make sense of the clue the terms. ; The theme plays on the idea that if the kerning of a font is wrong, “rn” can easily be mistaken for “m” (if you don’t know what “kerning” is, see Word of the Day, below):

Word of the day: kerning (not in the puzzle, though I thought it would be…) — Typography, kerning is the process of adjusting the space between characters in proportional fonts, usually to achieve a visually pleasing result. Kerning adjusts the space between individual letterforms, while tracking (letter-spacing) adjusts uniform spacing over a set of characters.[1]In a well-kerned font, the two-dimensional space between each pair of characters is all a visually similar area. The term “keming” is sometimes used informally to refer to improper kerning (the letters r and n placed too close together are easily confused with the letter m). (wikipedia) (inph. min)

Holy cow, reveal this! I don’t think I was surprised as pleasantly, and happy by a reveal in a long time. In the second theme answer, I knew what the concept of the theme was, so I was just working on the grid waiting to see how the puzzle would end, that is, how the revealer would express the theme. In my mind, I thought, “well, this involves poor kerning … so maybe kerning in the grid somehow … this is an interesting word, but … it will not fit in terms this long final … and it’s not part of any longer expression that I know of … so maybe the reveal will be one of the shorter answers … or maybe … oh, god, it won’t a kind of “kern” Pun is it, that would be tragic … maybe there is no reveal! … ah well, I guess we will find out eventually … better just keep settling and see what happens.” Or something like that. This means that the concept was simple and I grokked it so I didn’t think the puzzle had anything left to show me. And wow, was I wrong. FROM STEM TO STERN is so on-the-money that I almost AGASP (which I thought was a mythical, crossover-only state until today). They must have started with that phrase and built the puzzle around it, because it’s right on the money: it’s a familiar idiom that could stand alone in any puzzle *and* it uses clever words to indicate terms in (instead of just pointing at it) *AND* it’s a perfect grid covering 15 long letters. This is what is known as “stuck the landing.” So much of the fun of solving rides on the moment: the reveal is revealed. And it’s such fun to have a surprise reveal, especially when you already think you know (or actually know) what’s going on with the theme. Simple concept, absolutely killer reveal. FROM STEM TO STERN took me from Like to Love with one big flourish. The bow is on the present, the icing on the cake. Yes, I’ll take this.

The theme was deceptively simple. I say “cheat man” because Jedi will not sneak up on me with his tricks. I know it’s the day of the Shenanigans, and I can see the clues are a no-brainer, so I proceed cautiously, waiting for the traps to start appearing. But with the first theme, I can see / feel that the answer will be WHAT A GOOD BOY I am … but then I thought “no, you can’t fool me, stupid puzzle. It can’t just be. WHAT A GOOD BOY I AM… because that has nothing to do with Homer! That’s not crazy at all. Where’s the “D’OH!”? Oh no, it’s not WHAT A GOOD D’OH! Is that me? ? !?!?! Please say it isn’t.” The result of this mistrust is that I left the BOY part blank because I figured that was where the wackiness was going… but then the crosses eventually revealed no (apparent) wackiness at all. Just get used to WHAT A GOOD BOY I AM. If I had stopped to think about where this phrase came from, I could have figured out the term early on. But as it was, I did not find it until the next term, which I actually had to squint to see if it said “Bums” or Burns” … and then SOTTISH POET must “Burns” … but the sign (resquints) says “Bums,” so … aha! There it is. This is the term. Not Homer but Horner, not Bums but Burns, etc. So what was my mini aha. And that was all the aha. I thought I was going to get it. That’s why the reveal was such stunning fun. The only fault I can find with the theme is that SCOTTISH POETS is not a good stand-alone answer (not more than BELGIAN POETS or POETRY).It is a sign more than an answer. But for the purpose of this particular theme, it is good. These are the things about puzzles and clever themes that are elegantly executed – you forgive and even forget the mistakes in these puzzles are very easy.Jack of 1950s TV / WED 6-8-22 / Doth choose a comedy routine / Boyle’s law topic / Publishing private information on the Internet in modern languages ​​/ Strong German brew / Title 6-year-old of 1950s c children’s literature

TERMS: -ET to -ETH— has an “H” added to the end of one of the words, making it a Shakespearean-sounding verb; The resulting wacky sentences are clued accordingly:

Word of the day: ABU Simbel (57A: ___ Simbel (Lake Nasser landmark)) – Abu Simbel is a historical site with two massive rock-cuts in the village of Abu Simbel (Arabic: ابو سمبل), Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt , near the border with Sudan. . It is located on the west bank of Lake Nasser, about 230km (140mi) southwest of Aswan (about 300km (190mi) by road). The complex is part of the UNESCOWorld Heritage Site known as “The Nubian Monuments”, which runs from Abu Simbel down the river Philae (near Aswan), and includes Amada, Wadi es-Sebua, and other Nubian sites. The twin temples were originally carved into the mountain in the 13th century BC, during the 19th Dynasty pharaoh Ramses II. They serve as a lasting monument to King Ramses II. His wife Nefertari and children can be seen in smaller figures at his feet, they are considered to be of lesser importance and have not been given the same position in scale. This commemorates his victory at the Battle of Kadesh. The large stone exterior reliefs have become iconic. The complex was moved in its entirety in 1968 under the supervision of a Polish archaeologist, Kazimierz Michałowski, from the Polish Center of Mediterranean Archeology of the University of Warsaw, on an artificial hill made of a dome structure, high above the Aswan High Reservoir lady The relocation of the temples was necessary or they would be submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser, the massive artificial water reservoir formed after the construction of the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River. The project was carried out as part of the UNESCO Nubian Salvage campaign. (wikipedia)

It’s probably a very tight set of terms-there are other phrases -ET-a-ETH I could think of off the top of my head, but none of them were exactly great. You must be able to turn an -ET word into an -ETH word *and* have the resulting verb phrase be a wakily cluable phrase. So the MULLET the MULLETH works, but there is no good sentence MULLET, so you are left with MULLETH HAIRCUT or something like that, which is actually kind of good on the wacky end, but the basic phrase “mullet haircut” is just redundant. Anyway, for this theme, the series looks pretty solid. I just found the concept sad. Extremely one-note. I was a little excited there at ART SCHOOL because it had a “?” clue and I thought “oh, is this term going to creep into other archaic verb forms that aren’t lisping!?” But no, ART SCHOOL is not a term (I mean, how would you know that, anyway? “Do you have students inside of you, building?”). After I got PIKETH LINES , the rest of the answers were super-easy to pick up, and only PUBLIC TOILETH seemed really surprising or inventive. The others just … fit the theme. The grid was oversized today so that the 8-letter FAD DIETH could sit dead center), so the PUBLIC resolution definitely TOILETH longer than usual in order to finish this thing. The way the grid is built, the fill is overwhelmingly short, and unfortunately it’s of stale type (AD REP, OAST, PAAR, etc.). Attempts to unlock it mostly fail. VACAY is slangy in a horrible way that already felt old (I never felt the need
