Lie in king, I know I'm a sycophant but your clear explanations help many crossword solvers including me

[Lie-in King]

That's kind of you, herbage, thank you :-)

[dwil]

Yes. V. useful to get explanation. Sometimes know answer but need it " parsing". Is parsing the correct word? I know it's used lot in AB but I always thought it was used wth grammar functions.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, Parsing is the term used - precisely what I didn't do on this occasion.

Gladly LIK did.

[dwil]

Thanks Mamyalynne. My question was more one of semantics. Is parsing a correct use of the word or just a wrong but convenient way to ask for an explanation?
