      Thank you for providing the annotations, I am still trying to wrap my head around cryptic conventions and this helps so much!

        Short and sweet.

          Between the answer in 3D and the usage of “delinquent” in 6A, I realize that this puzzle is a lot more American than I thought!

            Nice little puzzle, very clean. I really liked the one about the hymns.
