And while I'm whining...

The Chicago Manual of Style is just whacked. Any citation style that can reduce me to bouncing up and down squeaking "I just want to know where to put the damn commas!" is definitely argh. (Of course it might be easier to work if I wasn't trying to use the ONLINE version of the Chicago Manual of Style...)

Anything that makes you change ALL THE PUNCTUATION-- every single bit-- in your citations when you change them from bibliographies to footnotes or vice versa makes me ill. Let's not even get into the difficulties of trying to interpret the bits about citing online sources without actual examples of said citations.

The things I do for my art...

The MLA Stylesheet is wonderful, easy to understand, and easy to use. Why on *earth* are you using Chicago?

Why Chicago?

Because that is what they want for the CA.

Ok, that makes sense. Sucks, but makes sense :)

I am *really* looking forward to this CA.
