      Chicago, APA and MLA are different citation standards. At the end of books or papers you will see a bunch of references and they are all in the same format, these standards dictate the order of information (eg title, author, chapter, volume, page number…)

        Your disdain for these manuals of style is blatantly visible in your omission of the serial comma, which all three recommend using ಠ_ಠ

          What, Wizard Seminary doesn’t believe in citations? It’s just a free for all of plagiarism?

          That sounds awesome, actually.
