To be fair, it seems to be in about 75% of crosswords.

You needed to work etui, stile, SSR, and the two acronyms used for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission into that sentence somehow. All while buying a sari and an obi for your amah.

As for birds, yes, the nene, but there is the tern, the erne, the emu, the rhea, and the dodo.

When I did crosswords many years ago, "bitter vetch" and "Celebes ox" were not infrequent visitors. I wonder if that's still the case.

I look stuff up a lot more for the Guardian cryptic, which I've been doing for a couple of years. A lot more intellectually challenging, but also a lot of Brit-things a true blue American would have no way of knowing
