If this is a wind-up, well I'm sorry ! If it's genuine, as I suspect, suggest you give a few more details first. 8A is "Faux naif" - need I say more?

[helkat]

Terribly sorry Gardenknowin
7d considered to be true
17d acting as a substitute pitcher in baseball
27a word from french for extravagent admiration

thank you so much for 8a, which i would never have got on my own

7 Adjudged . 17 . In relief ?

[seaslug]

17d in relief
27a fureur
7a also stuck think it should be adjudged but then can't get 18 across which I thought should end in .....ium

[helkat]

yes,i also got 18a ending ium

[seaslug]

18 across is tritide which makes adjudged correct!

[helkat]

thank you!
