I had thoughts about burning mine in effigy when I graduated (MLA being ridiculously clunky compared to APA) but I'm so glad I saved it. The poor child needs it ever so much more, bless her heart.

I much prefer Chicago style with its footnotes or endnotes instead of in-line citations. I find that in-line citations break up the flow of the text.

I agree, though I've never learned Chicago style. You'd think living in Illinois that they would have taught us that but no-o-o-o-o. It'd be hard for me to change now.
