I don't give grins. I don't even play a grin-giver on tv. But can we award a half-grin for today's puzzle? The DATA theme was nice but there are 42 black squares, an amount that is becoming increasingly common. I prefer fewer black squares and longer answers. And today's puzzle may have set a world's record for the highest number of abbrebviations and foreign words in a 15x15 crossword: ABS, ALA, ATEST, DIEM, DSO, EDS, ELS, GTO, KAN, MIC, MRE, NUS, REBS, ROI, SER, STL, SYL, TDGARDEN, ULNAE and UVRAY. I want to see real words.
