Annoying Ways People Use Sources

The opening of this article made me want to read it. I love how he compares slow driving to sloppy writing. I for one HATE slow drivers, so I can imagine how irritated he is. I like the quote he used as to why people don't use quotations right. "There are two explanations for why some don't use quotations right. they don't know how, or they don't care" I really believe this to be true, because unlike people that drive slow; when it comes to writing in college majority of people have been writing papers all of there lives. So knowing where to put quotations is something that is learned. So when it comes down to writing the paper if you don't put them in the right spot, I think of it more as you don't care or maybe you just really didn't know. But if it's something you don't know you can always look it up, so you can look at it as them not caring where the "quotations" are. I like how he included examples of the wrong way to place quotations and then provided the right way to do it. All and all I thought this was a great article and it kept me engaged.
