Annoying ways

In this article the author expressed great annoyance with the way some people cite their sources. He compares every scenario do relatable situations in great depth – which is quite entertaining. The highlight of this article was the way the author seemed to explain the dos and don’ts of citing your essays. I learned about how to contextualize my information rather than just showing what I know; you should have a motive and not be an “Uncle Barry”. I also learned to minimalize the amount of quotations I use in my essay to prevent the reader from getting too lost in the actual meaning of the text. Proving that you understand the material and delving into it without quotations is a way to minimalize them. Although, it’s not only reducing the quotations, but introducing them properly and seamlessly. If you just blurt a quotation in without it fitting properly it can stick out and confuse the reader, properly gliding into the subject may help. I learned a lot about citations from this article, it was entertaining to read and provided examples on what not to do.
