    avant garde crossword puzzle is a great phrase I wish I could use. I can't really "do" crossword puzzles, my brain just can't think that way. I like word play and stuff but I can't see the clue and think up a word, i can see the word and clue and get why it works, it's the same with trivia.

      The Globe was the 17th century London theatre that Shakespeare is most closely associated with. He acted there and was a part owner of it. So the cryptic clue is that he trotted around in The Globe.

    Words spoken out loud require enunciation. I could not understand the person on the left when their pitch dropped into a growly tone. I guess she was subconciously mirroring her colleague, but speaking in a natural pitch aids the listener. Actually, his natural pitch is probably higher, too, but his resonance was able to overcome. I would probably be muttering and rushing my words in such a scenario, so I'm not saying I would do better, but when the vid is about words, maybe the words should be heard. Maybe it's just me. Maybe it was the sound mix?
