    The disclaimer I should have put is...Unless it is an English/writing Class

    And the most of my college career I had to but my own bibliography/works cited page together but now this website should be helpful

    bibme.com

    Just type in the book info and the style you are writing in and it formats everything for you.

    Ill check it out as well and am familiar with MLA. I am a grammar nazi on the internet...although using my phone more causes problems even for me!
    My dad is a retired high school english teacher. My sister teaches english. My wife teaches history and english and I never received less than an A in any english class.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    When I was in the USAF (Homestead AFB, 76-79), I had a lot of fun correcting the spelling and grammar that was written on the mens' room stalls. (In their infinite wisdom, the commanders had large tablets of paper put up on each stall wall so they didn't have to repaint all the time.)

    For a long time, I signed it, "Three", which was simply the employee number I put on the work records (00003). Then some full-bird moved in and wanted a low number, and I wound up with some obscure number to use. So I changed my signature to the "Spelling Bee", each one with a bunch of dotted lines and a little drawing of a bee at the end.

    Man, did I ever get a lot of splatterback on that hobby! Nobody ever figured out who it was, though, and I had an absolute blast doing it.

    Now I'm in the adult education field and it pisses me off to no end when my colleagues publish something that's full of punctuation, spelling and grammatical errors. The one that I scream loudest about is those who use the apostrophe to make a word plural! I've even sent around web links about how to properly use the apostrophe, but it doesn't seem to sink in.

    Note rule #3 in the following link:

    As far "Left" she is I didn't think she was too bad...

    As far as the paper at the end of the law class it was a bit long I guess but didn't do too bad on it.
