When you say "they get it wrong", were you referring to "gold standar", Shortz having six letters rather than five, or something factual? *)

Darn, you beat me to them! :)

Specifically the six letters thing. "What's a _-letter word for _____?" is the cliche opening line to newspaper articles about crosswords.

It's a nice article, notwithstanding, but as I scanned it too quickly, I read "The film sucks." Oh, wait, that's "...the film sucks viewers in to the drama..." That's way better.

Most movie ads take sentence fragments out of context to make the review sound better than it really was!

Wait, wait, what's the problem? "Willz" does have five letters.
