Wrong thread.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

[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.

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.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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

Hey, we're being clean and saving ink by getting rid of all that crazy crazy punctuation, man.

You can't just truncate a word and not put a period there! It'll bleed to death. Like my eyes, looking at it.
