How Will Shortz Edits a Crossword Puzzle

If you're a crossword puzzle lover, then the name Will Shortz will require no introduction. The New York Times crossword puzzle editor, and the only known person to hold a degree in enigmatology, is simply legendary.

Um Hi,
I'm not an "Editor" ...but shouldn't it be How Will Shortz edits a crossword puzzle? Ok perhaps it wouldn't fit? Always liked crosswords.

Fixed - thx Winslow. I changed the title at the last minute and made a silly error :)

Part of my day includes doing the NY Times crossword puzzle, although I've been known to skip Monday and sometimes even Tuesday. The clues on Saturday and even Friday can be downright evil. I thought that a lot of puzzles were constructed by people in prison. No love for Will Weng?
