annoying ways reading response

After reading the title of this article, I thought that I never considered that people use sources annoyingly in their writing. According to Kyle Stedman, I was wrong. He addresses all the annoying ways people use quotes. I understand his reasoning with the first annoyance, having a quote with no preceding or post explanations. In my past papers, I like to start paragraphs with a quote if its relevant to the information because it can draw the reader’s attention into the subject.  I also know that it is imperative not to overuse quotes in a piece of writing. I also work to incorporate my quotes into the grammar of the preceding sentence, or else it just sounds bad. In high school, I used MLA formatting for my in text citations, even though it was annoying. It is important to match the first word of the in text citation to the first word of the works cited citation. The final annoyance that Stedman touched on is significant for the validity of a paper. It is always vital to match the source to its information. In conclusion, I learned a lot about the things to look out for when using quotes and citing sources in my writing.
