Very puzzling -- well constructed. Thank you.

Good one. Thank you.

Very, very good.

This puzzgrid gave me fizzypants

I'm pleased to have occasioned so much pleasure for you, pomomofo

Mmmm "plateau" may be incorrect as it can do the opposite of the answer. But still a good grid.

You are not wrong,Bowie. Otherwise, good grid!

Homophone NOT homonym!!!!
Poor - and keeps happening!!!

Yes, SMcK, my error. Thank you.

Excellent grid, surprisingly difficult. I got zero on the grid, but once I saw the rows, I promptly connected three and should have gotten the fourth. Also, it's hard to construct a puzzle that's equally accessible to all nationalities (not a complaint, just an observation), yet this one is.
