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.

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.

Suzi, your good CJ!school news didn't get lost in all our editor rambling! That's great news, in fact! I'm sure you're thrilled and he is too!

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

Our wings are not tired.

Wonderful news, Suzi! That is so good to read.

Oh, Steph, I know. As I was writing it, I was thinking, "This is so not IEEE style."

I love you all, and sincerely apologize for any pain experienced when reading my grammatically random posts.

No worries, Laura, B.org is where I come to escape from the awful grammar of the rest of the Internet.

I love/It's sad that we went from quasi-science to editor-geek in nothing flat.
