Gillian Jacobs you mean lol but yeah it was a good moment

What made you think that's what the video would be about? It isn't titled "how a crossword puzzle is made." The video is literally called "Will Shortz on How a Crossword Is Made," which tells you the video will be Will Shortz talking about his process, which is exactly what the video showed. The title is absolutely precise; it was your own personal inference of the title that was imprecise.

@@NickC_222 Okay, then let's be precise. All that was shown and discussed is how a crossword puzzle is edited, proof-read, and cross-checked for factual or usage errors. None of these things can be performed before a crossword puzzle is made, as there would be nothing to edit, proof-read, or cross-checked for errors. So although Will Shortz talks about his "process" as you put it, he does not in fact talk about "how a crossword is made," which is the title of the video. If the title were instead "Will Shortz on His Crossword Editing Process," then the title would precisely represent the content of the video. But as the OP stated, nowhere in the video does Will Shortz talk about how they are made. In fact, he begins his discussion with the process of reviewing "submissions." This means, quite literally, that the crosswords are already made. Therefore, by the time we are even introduced to his "process," we have already skipped past the crossword-making stage. Hence the title is absolutely NOT precise. You could maybe argue that it is approximate or perhaps related, but precise is certainly not the case. As an interesting aside, notice the brief video description: "Will Shortz on crossword puzzles." Now this would have been a precise title, since Will Shortz is certainly talking about crossword puzzles, just not how they are made. So to answer your question, "What made you think that's what the video would be about?" I would say that it's probably the fact that the title told me that's what the video would be about. It's not a matter of personal inference, it's a matter of fact. Words have meanings, and meanings have implications. Will Shortz editing submissions implies that the puzzles are already made, no personal inferences need be invoked.

@@jinks908 Thats up to you to figure out. No spoon feeding here. Clayton.

i just think its really funny how this person actualy exist in real life, i tought it was youtube chanel for funny or die... i think that was the nine-nine objective

That's what an editor does; he edits! 😂

Learned that word on the simpsons

He'd just be replaced. Right now, he's not the editor of the crossword puzzles of the NYT.

The NYT crossword has been around since 1942. A full decade before this guy was even born. So, it has been around before him and will be around after him.

nah bruv

I assume that a crossword editors main function is to look at the words. You really have to suspend disbelief to think that will shortz didn't notice a freaking swastika. The people who are defending this are saying that it is a typical x shaped puzzle. No it's a freaking swastika!

@@joemannix7471 All crosswords have rotational symmetry in the black and white squares. This often leads to spiral patterns, which if you squint and use your imagination can appear similar to a swastika, which of course is a very simple shape itself.
