Why Must Read The New York Times Wednesday Crossword Puzzle Omnibus: 200 Medium-Level Puzzles?

The puzzles are fun and challenging. I really like some of the creative themes that some of the puzzles have. The size of the book is also good for puzzling. Just one problem though! The book does use an ethnic slur as an answer in puzzle 115. I'm sure the people who made this are American and probably aren't even aware of this, but the answer, "gyp," (I hate to write it, but for clarity's sake, I'll type it out) is short for "g*psy." Americans don't use "g*psy" as a slur, but it definitely is one in Europe for the Romani. Using "gyp" is the equivalent of saying you "J*wed somebody down." Again, I don't think this was intended to hurt anyone. It's just another awful part of our language that's original meaning gets lost over years. Heck, I am very guilty of this, but we can all get better! :)
