Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[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.

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

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