It is so fucking sad that I immediately edited the reference for AMA style. (For the record, it would read: "Steph LB. I thought this shirt was clean: a study of the effects of laundering on fur deposits in common fabrics. Ann Household Animal Fur Res 2014." And would need the appropriate MEDLINE ID or doi number.) (God help me.)
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, Steph, I know. As I was writing it, I was thinking, "This is so not IEEE style."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I had to use APA style for my dissertation. Hated it, because MLA had just been so drilled into me in high school and college that I could easily type up a bibliography without having to reference anything, and then had to keep looking up stuff when I was writing my citations for the dissertation. APA style would be:
L. B., Steph. (2014). I thought this shirt was clean: a study of the effects of laundering on fur deposits in common fabrics. Annals of Household Animal Fur Research, 53, 234-257.
It's that last comma that particularly bugs me. Everything else gets separated by periods, but volume number is italicized, then a comma, then page numbers aren't italicized, and it just looks and feels wrong.

L. B., Steph.
Oh, yeah. When I edited the reference for AMA style, I was treating my first name like it was my last, just because it was spelled out and we spell out last names. Er, like this:
Lastname SL. I thought this shirt was clean: a study of the effects of laundering on fur deposits in common fabrics. Ann Household Animal Fur Res. 2014;53:234-257.

You don't even know -- my brain is going "APA style is HIDEOUS! Why all the periods?!?" #editorwars

IEEE style if you presented it at the related conference:
S. Lastname, "I thought this shirt was clean: a study of the effects of laundering on fur deposits in common fabrics," in Proc. Conf. Household Animal Fur Res., Cincinnati, OH, USA, Dec. 2014, pp. 2-9.
AMA style is the reason I have to put all the periods back into the references whenever I get a paper from an author who does medical research. fist shake #editorwars
