Master Of Science, has been answered a couple of times.

PS I think this is from this week's Sunday Times Cryptic.

[bobbinwales]

its odd though as this clue was posted yesterday and LionKing said the clue should read ,,,CHARM SCHOOL so the MSC is hidden in the clue

[Toorak]

Middle school abbreviated is m s c - master of science

[Lie-in King]

The clue is "...of char-M Sc-hool..."

I'm wondering if this is from the print copy? It's the second time it's been asked with "middle" in the clue.

[Captain2]

I was wondering that too.

Could the online version be different to the printed one, do you think?

[Lie-in King]

Wouldn't be the first time, Cap'n

[bobbinwales]

Maybe.... but both versions work ok i think???

[Neveracrossword]

I think my printed copy had 'middle', but it had gone by the time the discussions came along!

[novalis]

Just checked my version. it has 'middle' rather than 'charm'.

[anaxcrosswords]

There has been an editorial mixup. “Middle” was suggested by my editor as a replacement for something else, after which I noticed “charm” worked better. Unfortunately the revision wasn't applied to both print and online versions. Sorry about that!

[Captain2]

Thanks for clarifying, anaxcrosswords. At least we got the answer correct. :))

[Lie-in King]

Hi anax, long time no see - hope you're keeping well?

Ta for the explanation :-)

Gerdalund often thanks members for their help but they do this via the reporting facility. It makes me question if they think it says "Reply" instead of "Report". Gerdalund, you're able to comment on the thread by typing where it says "Your Answer..." and clicking the "Answer Now" button. You can do this to thank members directly.

I thought it would be nice to explain this to people on the thread because Gerdalund is very polite and I don't want members to think their answers are being ignored.

[Lie-in King]

Thank you for that, SpareEd :-)

[Lie-in King]

Bumping to LP as I've just seen the Cap'n about & thought he might like to see SpareEd's post above ^^ :-)

[Captain2]

Thanks for the heads-up, LiK.

Yes, it's nice to know that Geralund tries to thank people for their answers. Perhaps G will try SpareEd's way soon.
Thanks to SpareEd too.
