I would guess the he/she has never struck most of these words before.
DH crosswords are rubbish – unworthy of presentation in a national suite of newspapers.

A bit late I know. But I really thought the Age people would do something to address their blunder in publishing an old Puzzle/Comics page last Saturday. Can you speak to someone? May have to switch to the SMH.
