Thanks djawhufc. I've solved one more in the SE, so I'll give the other three more thought!

Hi djawhufc
We're thinking "sees sense", "exempts", "per cent", but only have any sort of complete explanation for "sees sense". Any of these wrong?

All correct.

Sees sense - I took it to be various points of the compass east, north and south in a jumble

Sorry mis read

per cent- there is a line between two zeroes if you look at the symbol %

Exe (m pt)s exes journalists expenses or account with m(inute) pt (part) inside

Yes, that was what we thought. Any help on the full explanation of the others (and "tweets"), if that is right too, would be much appreciated. (Per cent and exempts)
