Wooo, APA! In your face, MLA!

Okay. LightBulb, you made my day. How many MLA jokes do I, long-suffering English major in-the-middle-of-grading-the-research-papers-from-hell get to enjoy? Not many. Thanks!

Okay now, settle down. APA may be my current language, but my language of origin is MLA. It will always reign supreme in my heart (and peaks through in my papers from time to time. I am constantly getting in trouble for that  ).

I use the SAA Style guide. Society for American Archaeology, and they can be super fascists. All measurements are required to be metric, unless the site date is so old it was done in English measurements. They even are specific about which dictionary should be used for English or Spanish words, and which spelling to use. They also discourage too much math int he text, hahaha.

Traffic was just as bad as usual today. So far, I haven't seen any effect. However, I'm not going into Montrose today, where I would expect to see the most impact.
