Isn't It Ironic(ally Named) (Meta)

Thanks, Ben! There may be a red-herring effect from the proper substitutes for FLY, BEAR, etc, which give something like SPA MR BIG... We'll see!

Okay.......

That was fun! (And I mean that unironically!)

Ben, I solved using the PDF and "English" was spelled correctly. The clue (24A) on Crosshare is "Englush".

I couldn't get the "i" from 24A. Thanks for the doable grid and meta.

I have been having a difficult meta week, so this was fun. Thanks, Ben!

In my bid to be today's 40 Across:

Little Miss Nomer Sat down at home, her Starfish and firefly were there. Along came a koala She said, “You’re what they call a “Marsupial, but by me, you’re a bear.”

Thanks Ben! Great puzzle.

Brilliant construction, Ben!

Tricky! I was about to write to you, saying "You spelled ENGLISH wrong"

I've also been struggling with this week's metas so this was fun! Thanks

ironically I had a typo in my first submission LOL. Fun one!

As I sat eating my head cheese and petting my horned toad I got the idea to write down my answers in chalk on the blackboard. But first I dialed a friend to ask him if I could borrow his woods for a game of Kolve.

Nice one Ben, perfect for a MEOW and thanks for giving me at least one I could solve!

disturbing how few of those misspellings I noticed the first time…

Weirdly, the first time through, the only typo I plainly noticed and noodled on was “Englush”. Somehow I read right over “Hsurice”, “Twitzerland”, “Seurh”, and “Fabex”. The others I wouldn’t have recognized (recognised?) as typos. Fun! Thanks, Ben!

Enjoying the comments -- and very much enjoyed the puzzle, Ben!

I don't know why everyone sees misspellings, Ben's L key obviously isn't working or you would recognize the country famous for its licorice, Twizlerland and the area know for a preponderance of detectives. Sleuth America.

I was fumbling around with the knot on the cat bag until I decided to take a fresh look at the themer clues, as their verbosity seem to be flashing a signal. While I dismissed the first misspelling I saw as a typo, when they started adding up I realized they were intentional, especially when I saw them starting to spell out MISNOMER, which looked very fitting when I read about the controversy over the song's title and recalled that you were writing this meta as a "tribute". All the pieces fit together.

Jolly good job there mate!

Thancs for the fun mid week pozzle! We enteavored to concuct a clever comment but it turns out that typoz are very hard to tame. My typos prefer to be free range!

Fun one, Ben! Thanks.

I thought those were just Australian spellings…

Just kidding Ben thanks again for a wonderful puzzle!

FWIW if you look up the wiki page on tin foil it has the meta answer in the first paragraph, which was a fun discovery.

And who would've thought it (being the typos) figures...

Boy, is my face red! I got to MISNOMER by a MUCH different path. I recognized (US Spelling) that those things were all misnomers and since that was an 8 letter (there were 7 themers) noun I entered it and it was correct. I did NOT see the misspellings (no surprise, ask Wendy who often tests/edits my metas and she will tell you I don't even see mine!) until all of the discussion on the board. Ben once again you have fooled me twice, shame on me.
