    This book I'm proofing is 400 pages. It's easily 100 pages too long.

    Okay wait.

    The suspense was built unexceptionally enough to begin with...but the big reveals are all being done in infodumps?

    I haven't read that much in the way of mystery/thriller/suspense (next to nothing), but I think even I could write something better than this.

    Michal Bay could make the film. Drop Plan9 's name for the Nicolas Cage lead and Bay can put the money he saves into yet more explosions that will be critical for the plot. Throw in some vapid females wearing not not enough clothes, dialogue that makes Transformers (any of them or all of them) sound like Citizen Kane, Plan9 wearing a ripped and/or bloody shirt throughout, and it will make millions.
    There can be a cameo showing a male librarian in Toronto dispensing critical information.

    Someone needs a refresher on when to use a semicolon and when to use an em dash.

    Refresher? That would imply that I knew how to use them correctly in the first place.

    And too bad too may stupid drivers don't do more that tap the brakes at a stop sign or try to turn right when there are pedestrians in a cross walk.

    But I don't have much sympathy for jaywalkers.

    Does this happen to anyone?

    I find that Google will sometimes freeze up on a search term. Like a specific term. You'd think it was just the Internet, like maybe your ISP or some server along the way or whatever, but no.

    For example, I just tried to search "Salalah" to no effect. I can then immediately search for things like "muffins," "cookies," and "brownies," and get results immediately. If I go back to "Salalah"? She freezes up again. WTF is up with that? Give me "Salalah" FFS!

    EDIT: Even "cupcakes" works! No "Salalah"!!!!11

    EDIT2: Oh interesting. If I do "Salalah port" it comes up with shit. Fucking Google.

    Sounds like Google is trying to fatten you up.

    Oh, no. That's totally me.

    Yeah, I don't get it. The term still doesn't work on my end. It actually caused Google Chrome to freeze up once.

    I knew I should've said 10am. 9am is fine but we stayed up late watching Star Trek: TNG and I'm tired.

    You're probably just using the Canadian Google. You shouldn't be surprised that it gets confused when things like moose, fake bacon, mounties and good bud aren't in the input. Try Salalah eh.
