I've had students come to me and SWEAR on their mothers'
graves they've never heard of the MLA when I know darned well they had
it last year with an instructor that I know for a fact teaches the MLA
in 1101.


*boggles*

But...but...but can't they just pick up a fucking book?!? Yeesh. When I was in college, I had the insane idea my senior year to take a 4000-level Medieval European History course (and I wasn't a history major.) I was thrown into the deep end of Chicago Manual and told I had to sink or swim. You know what I did? I went out and bought a copy of A Manual of Style and learned it. I just don't understand what's so mystifying about MLA.

And shouldn't these kids have learned MLA in high school? I was on my second copy of the handbook before I ever even applied to college.
