And, this is stupid I realize, but I just can't stand when characters that are supposedly in their mid 20s to early 30s use the word "dude" in dialogue. Really? Do people really talk like that? I'm in that age bracket and haven't heard someone use the word "dude" unironically since the 90s.

The author was probably in his 20's in then late '80s or early '90s.
I used to work with some one who always used the word Dude. Of course he was 21 in 1988. I never liked the way Dude was used and hope it never makes a comeback.
