    Ooof, 11:18. Got stuck for about half that time on the middle left bc of misspellings of 2, 21, and 22 down. (22 down i knew, but i have a student whose name is pronounced about the same way but with a different first letter, so force of habit took over!)
    I love when a puzzle takes a little longer though, and thought the theme was clever and fun!

    20 across really had me stumped for a minute, but great puzzle as always!

    This took me 20 minutes, there were a lot of American clues I had no ideas for!! Got it in the end though.
