I misspelled CAPISCE, using an "...49:18 (FWTE)<br />I misspelled CAPISCE, using an "h" where the second "c" belongs and not paying any attention whatsoever to the cross, and entered AnORIGINAL instead of ABORIGINAL, again not checking the cross. I finished all but the NW in under 20 minutes, and the next half-hour was spent trying to figure all of that out. SWIPELEFT was my last entry. NERTS was difficult since I'd not heard the expression used in the clue, I knew the Ripley part of TOMRIPLEY, but needed crosses for the rest, and I didn't know the trivia about the ARMADILLO. Alas, I'm familiar with ALMADEN, but I'm happy to report I've not had any in quite some time.
