Thank you so very much for your thorough explanation. It has been most helpful to a student out of college for 28 years.

[@phoebenicosia6550]

*I need someone to write my MLA style essay. Please recommend.*

[@DavidH-x7n]

Go to school and learn it yourself. Don't be lazy.

[@chocolatechip4519]

Thank you for this. I hate MLA.

Thanks for your helpful video. On the slide for web sources (9:17 into the video), my understanding is that there is a comma between the website name and the date published rather than a period. I use The Purdue OWL as my main MLA reference, and that's what it shows. Also, I see that in your example which follows, you did use a comma between the website and the date published. Another discrepancy I noticed is 10:33 into the video, and you've included n.d. which is no longer required if the web page doesn't provide a date published. I appreciate the time you put into making this!

Your are a great teacher. Love the fact that you rationalized the information. So helpul. Thanks.

[@liorahgolomb7405]

Hi, and thanks for this video. One thing I noticed at around 10:40. You used "n.d." According to the "Ask the MLA" FAQ, if there's no date we now leave it blank: "Q. The work I’m citing doesn’t have a publication date or page numbers. Should I include the abbreviations n.d. ('no date') and n. pag. ('no pagination) in the works-cited-list entry? Answer No. Do not use placeholders for unknown information like n.d. (''no date') and n. pag. ('no pagination') unless your teacher asks you to do so. " [I know I should do a proper citation, but I'm not bothering.]

Thanks a lot, Madam! I clearly understand everything about MLA format now, and I am ready to master it in my academic papers.

[@grcfalcon]

Under the basics on the right side of the page, it writes: ''Use italics for titles''. 2 slides later, on Formatting the 1st Page, it writes: ''Paper tile... No Italcs''. So what is the correct guideline? Title in italics or no italics?

[@irisarco13]

Your title is not italicized, but titles of sources are.

[@dancancrinskid2989]

Awesome!! Am a passionate academic writer and I can't fail to acknowledge such a helpful advice

[@abdallhdou5820]

How come that ur citation added manually ? i see that you edit whatever u want just by clicking on cited works titles which we don't wanna create citations list this way but only by clicking on a bibliography
