Bit puzzled by the wrong spelling of Rebekah in the crossword this week, for clue 27 down. "In the Old Testament, the wife of Isaac and the mother of Esau and Jacob" (Genesis 24 - 27) I have had to spell it incorrectly (Rebecca) to make it fit in with machine gun for 36 across. As it doesn't mention an alternative spelling, am a bit non-plussed.
