My freshman year of college, I had a complete writing meltdown. It was not fun. I emailed my Eng Comp teacher -- herein referred to as Prof M -- to talk it over. On the door to her office, there was a sign saying
Keep Calm and Cite Your Sources. It was one of the better talks I've had. This is for my personal reference, this is in case anybody is curious, but mostly, this is for you, Prof M. Thank you.
[Let's ignore the fact that this isn't so much citing but a reference list. And it's mostly MLA, with some tweaks.]
