MLA WTF moment of today: Where’s the period go?
This can be summarized quick, but it just doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense. According to MLA guidelines, an in-text quote is cited, and the period is placed outside of the parenthesis. Like: “… until it squished out of the eye sockets, amen” (121).
However, in a block quote (a block quote is any quote three lines[in your essay, no matter how many lines in your book] or more) the period goes before the parenthesis, and there are no quotations around the quote, and it’s indented an inch.
OK, thus concludes our MLA WTF moment of the day.
