Thanks Baldric and Cashier

[Baldric]

Thanks for BA.

[Captain2]

Could someone please explain why 'grievous', to this brain dead zombie, before I hit the pillow hard.

[Mamyalynne]

Might it be 'Gives our' anagram?

[Captain2]

Thanks Mamya, that makes a lot of sense; quite a few instances of incorrect clues being posted recently.
I'll sleep happily now. :))

[elliemay1]

slip of the finger probably as R and T keys beside each other

[Davemano]

Probably the reason for getting BA for using imagination.

[chelle7272]

[Baldric]

I entered 'severe ' in the Thesaurus, one of the words that came up was 'grievous' which was only one letter adrift.

[elliemay1]

[Captain2]

Yes, good answer Baldric; just couldn't quite see how it came about.
