For 50 down, with the answer “AGUA,” the clue was “H20” instead of “H2O.”

Always enjoy these crosswords, but would appreciate it if the clues that were “minus these letters/consonants/vowels” were stopped, as they aren’t great clues and are usually not even needed if the words were just played around with a bit.
For example, 1-Down is “Venomous snake, without vowels” which is hard and doesn’t even give you the word, but had you changed 11-Across from “BAN” to “PAN,” you would’ve gotten “CPR,” for 1-Down, which would’ve made it a normal word and the “without vowels” part totally unnecessary.
