      I still got nothing. I don;t think anybody is ignoreing you, just I (for one) have no idea where this clue is going!

      The only vague answer I have is PALIMPSEST and I can't justify it in any way at all! :laugh:

        But, you are correct.

        Early professor altered a misspelt manuscript. (10)

        Early professor P
        Altered "a misspelt" ALIMPSEST

        PALIMPSEST a manuscript, in particular a reused manuscript.

        Yeah, kind of a weak one. I struggled with the wordplay and wasn't really happy with it in the end. I was trying to hurry before I left town.

          Still better than anything I could devise.
          What I was thinking of for a low-quality attempt is

          F*ck, the police never arrive on time (8).

          Maybe good enough for a Saturday though.
