WTF, Google Docs?
RokofAges75:
I wrote a line of dialogue where Kevin tells Nick, "There’s a dustbuster in the hall closet, off the kitchen. Just grab me that." Google thinks it should be, "Just grab me like that." Between Kevin Spacey and now Mr. Grabby Hands, I think Google wants us writing something dirtier and slashier than what we're actually writing LOL.

And that, you're right. Kevin Richardson is a much better human!

LMAO! Forcefully and with a push? Yup, that does sound dirtier, lol.
Google heard you were briefly thinking about your short SAMS follow-up, lol.

This is less a "wtf google docs" for it doing it's thing, and more a "wtf google docs" for it not stopping me from doing my thing.
Google, where was your judgement yesterday when I typed this line? "A frown crossed Brian’s face as he frowned." For all the things you call me out for, that should have been at the top. Thank goodness meticulous editing is part of my process, lol.
RokofAges75:
LMAO!! That's about as bad as my "'I love you,' she said lovingly." It's funny what Google catches (or thinks it catches) and what it misses.
nicksgal:
Worse, I think. Because you were trying to add additional emotion to a line and I was just... not paying attention to what I was writing I suppose. As long as we're all clear that Brian was indeed frowning, then I have done my job as an author, lol.
Right? I need an editing software that catches dumb things like that! I guess it's me after getting some rest; I'm the editing software.
