What is MLA and APA?

Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world · 64 pts · 1y (7 replies)

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...)

He's going to decrease sin by increasing the amount of pie in the Vatican, because as we know the sin of pi is 0 :3
