3d. Line you are splitting to once again do hand-outs
LITERATURE

...I can sort of see the parse, but I'm not happy with it,..it looks like it's Line (L) 'you are' (UR...really?) splitting into ITERATE

i.e. L-ITERAT-UR-E.

Any other ideas?

That's right, Whetstone. UR is "textspeak"

OK thanks - I didn't realise these crossword setters were 'contemporary' enough to include 'textspeak' in clues.

17a. Freaking out, affected by grass
PANIC-STRICKEN

14a. Very absent-minded, perhaps, badly singe butts in failure to move?
INTRANSIGENCE

8d. Fall vegetable may be produced by this
KEEL OVER

Parses for the above please.

8. Keel = Leek reversed, Over....

17 per Chambers…

panic² (also panick or pannick /panˈik/)

Thanks jono, good work.

Happy to help!
