Root gloss- means tongue, thus "glossary," a mini-dictionary dealing with terms discussed within a work ("tongue" taking on the meaning of "language"), so "gives a gloss" can be ANNOTATES, a term applied to margin notes giving further explanation and/or historical context to the text.

You can only smile quietly to yourself and feel smugly superior.<br /><br />Well, I could not let go of GRill, did not know that the MARS ROVER was called "opportunity" (or was it?), couldn't get my brain to go from -ATed to -ATOR, and even with OZONE HOLE in place, I died in the NE. Big fat DNF. So the NE was too much for me, but the rest of the puzzle was about medium, and I liked it a lot. Q: Does 'gives a gloss' have anything to do with a 'glossary'?<br /><br />@Z - Spot on. Does the teacher like kids? The SINE QUA NON of teaching. Yes, I too have worked with those veteran teachers with a crusty coating, who inside are sensitive, insightful and effective educators.

Latin is a SINEQUANON of a good education. OTOH, I had no clue that the SEXPISTOLS had won a Grammy, let alone refused it. I kept trying to fit the Steve Miller Band in there...of course the year isn't right, but you'll recall how much of a SPACECADET I am regarding timelines. IMO, the SMB remains one of the best bands of the R&R era.<br /><br />Speaking of rockers, our constructor couldn't be the Led Zeppelin guitarist...could he? Now THAT would be fascinating.<br /><br />OFL's easy rating raises my IRE. Personally, I think anybody who finishes this baby WINSBIG. Hand up for the GRill-before-GRATE confusion. I will go along with OFL on some of the suffix-y fill, and lemme tell ya I stared at SQMI for a while, certain I had fouled up somewhere, before it hit me. #headslap<br /><br />Triumph factor again huge; short fill...well, I don't know how much of that you can fix and retain all those marvelous long entries, but I bet PB1 could "clean it up." DOD TESS (Julia Roberts) was to Matt Damon--and to me--"the best part of my day." Big first down; woulda been more if the guy hadn't stepped out of bounds. I haven't seen this constructor's name before--I would've noticed!--so kudos if this is a debut.<br /><br />[I didn't take anything off for KARAOKEBAR.

Again, my post was taken down and my question as to why was never answered. I have never posted on ANY blog before today. I don't go around looking to be offended. It is projection on their part thinking that people do the thing they would do. Keep taking a stand against people who need to control everything, no matter who they offend. That includes people of all sexes and ethnicity.

He is not talking about all older white guys, just those who frequent blogs looking for something to disagree with. As you point out, the vast majority of contributors to this particular blog do not fit that description and I'm positive that Rex was not talking about them in his post.

Secondly, Usually when I have a DNF, it is due to one stubborn letter. The NE in this puzzle was my personal storm of ignorance. REZA? ATOR? GLOM I had, but deleted because I could not get anything going in that corner.

I never did get a response about what I FABRICATed as a FABRICATOR.<br />@ Rex<br />Totalitarianism is also a word. Your blog, your rules. Got it. My mothers family escaped Hungary during the '56 revolution trying to escape this kind of nonsense. Grandpa drilled it in so I wouldn't forget. They hiked out of Hungary, to Austria, and beyond, a la Sound of Music. They came here LEGALLY in 1958. Don't give me your whining. And to think I stumbled onto intellectuals.
