When asked "what's wrong?" or "what happened?" I usually respond with

"he probably spelled 'library' with one 'R' again, the ol' bastard."

is this similar? Did you lose pedantry points on the use of the interrabang or ampersand??

That's some dry reading isn't it?

I love Flo!

I think police should recite the APA manual instead of chokeholds. It seems it would be more effective...though, there is the chance, however slight, that the arrestees can lapse into permanent comas.

BO: I just hate redoing references in APA style when I've already done it once and can't find it. I have to scan the reference section and make sure I'm using the right format for the right type of source. If I had to go to hell, I would be writing references in APA style in aeternum.

Elizabeth: Me too!

WP: I agree. But better they lapse into permanent comas than permanent commas! Hey-oh!

So if you have a collection of papers written in the APA style, the same level of headings will be in different styles depending on the depth of the hierarchy of the paper? What dumbass came up with that idea?

You can add textbook designer to my resume, flan, and make a note that I would never have designed one that would allow APA style.
