why not read my PhD? “Occult Anorexia: The Unseen Forces of Anorexia Life-writing”
I try really hard to keep my commitments, and to turn around requested reviews very quickly (usually within a few days). As far as I know, so do most people. I have no idea where the bottleneck is but it's not in MY house.

P.S. I am available for peer reviews ;-)

August 27: I email Editor asking for update, expressing concern that the deadline "by September" is now just 2 working days away and may now be unrealistic...

I don't know if this is an author problem or a journal problem or an editor problem or what, but it's definitely not a *reviewer* problem.

[*crickets for several weeks*]

August 11: I email Editor asking again for article ETA. (I'm well aware August goes more quickly than it seems.)

August 14: Editor replies, it’s “practically ready”, will be available “in the coming week”.

That I don't want to go? That it was never my choice? That it's not me, it's them? That I'd stay if they wanted me to? That I thought they liked me? That I'm the saddest dumpee in the whole wide world????

Sad!!!!

And zero is also singular, when the noun is abstract/uncountable (zero insight, zero food, zero emotion).
