    In my amazing paper, (written by most of you here as I cunningly copy and pasted your answers to my various HW threads) I need to cite my other internet resources and do not know how to go about doing so. I know there are these, "( )" involved and that is the threshold of my knowledge on the matter.

    So if you would kindly let me know how to cite internet sources internally, then I will be on my way.

    I don't know what an internent is, but you'd cite internet sources by using the author's name or a shortened version of the page's name if at all possible.

    If you can't do that, you should use footnotes and put the URL at the bottom and make use of ibid. notation as much as possible.

    I never cite the JC. Ever. Even when its my main source, I just make up stuff.



    Or occasionally I try to get the JC to write my citations page...




    You guys should be co-listed on my diploma...

    You know, the internet is an amazing thing. Google "MLA format" or "Handbook for writers" and you'll get so much useful information you'll wet yourself.

    If we teach you how to cite us, how will you cite that we did the citing for you?

    Go to the place I linked you to... it's all laid out.

    ...and I'm really astonished by how many people trust complete strangers on the internet with something as important as their education... I mean, it's only your future.

    smh

    :p

    Apparantly our teacher gave us one last week, and I didn't know what it was for until today, when the paper was due and she told us.

    BTW for the citing, I just put the User's name in paranthesis for the stuff they gave me.
