Not my cup of tea ...

I "Promise" I'm spelling them all correctly and they Still don't like me! ...sigh

[3] me too...double and triple checked...unless I need to use accents

[3] #7 tripped me up for a while, spelling-wise.

Would certainly have gone faster if I could remember how to spell. Very fun!

hnmmm. I think I have them all and it's not taking.

I had 5 wrong...

Yes, me too, I entered incorrect spellings and googie corrected and checked them all to no avail.

Is anyone willing to spellcheck

ah! it was #10. I've usually seen a less-americanized spelling

sent you a tg [10]

I was stumped by #9 for a while, til I remembered my Catholic upbringing. D'oh!!

My problem was an alternate spelling of #10 too

#4 is not coming to me

post and solve

that took forever... some very obscure answers in my opinion

for those stuck on the ones i was... for #8, use an adjective for the first part, and #9 ignore the A.

#10 was getting me. I've never heard of it and I consider myself a "snob-in-training." And then it took awhile to find the American spelling. Fun puzzle otherwise, time to open a bottle.

Honestly...the subject and clues are too obscure. I can't make much sense of a lot of the clues.

had fun with this one even with the hiccups I had.

time to have fun???

so we can help out some of those that are having problems????

#1 is da bubbly
#2 you can have with some fava beans. (wish I could type that sound)
#3 sounds like a french fem stooge.
#4 sounds like someone under a HMO plan. :)

anyone else want to join in for some fun?

[16] on number 9 you should not ignore the A, it is properly pronounced with the A.

I think I've got all of them but #4.

[edit] Post and solve

How about hints for 8 and 10?

#8 what is the pig in? the rest is a major division of geologic time.

#10 is rather literal. only spelling needs correcting. google what you see and attach the subject the theme is looking for.

[22] Thanks, I finally got it.

It would have been nice to know if we were talking about regions or types since they are not the same.

This made the puzzle incredibly difficult.

Spelling:

#11 is sans the final s.

#7 I before E except in #8.

#10 is spelled the way it sounds in English.

#9 is really bugging me - can't make anything fit (unless I have 8 and 11 wrong).

[26] I had to use a crossword solver for #11... number 9 appears in a Billy Joel song- (Scenes from an Italian Restaurant)

Fun puzzle! I had all but two of them before I had to hit google, though remembering the exact spelling on 8 and 11 took a sec

Are Philana's clues ever NOT amusing as hell?

poor, non wine-drinking me! thank goodness for google!

[27] Thanks for that - now I get the clue(20/20 hindsight)!
