      cite your own paper, the one you are submitting, as a source.

      just to keep things interesting, have each citation refer to another place in the text, which In turn cites another, then back to the original.

      throw in citations of your professor themselves for things taken wildly out of context.

        Make it a recursive loop where the citation sources all makes a wild loop through the entire paper

    That’s a terrible reference. Do they mean the first quarto, second quatro or first folio?

      Is the period part of the quote?

        Probably not, but the convention is that periods and commas always stay within the quotes, whether the period or comma is a part of the quote or not. (This differs from what one expects from writing code.) When using question marks though, the placement does depend on whether the question mark is a part of the quote.

        Edit: When I was younger, I also didn’t know this and would place all punctuation marks according to whether it is a part of the quote. In fact, in my native language that is what you’re supposed to do. To this day I still dislike this convention in English.

        Edit 2: I know that this is an American English thing.

          Fuck convention when it doesn’t make sense, though. I’m gonna put stuff that’s part of the quote within the quotes and nothing else.

          (This differs from what one expects from writing code.)

          I learned syntactic analysis at the same time as I learned to write code, and that convention always looked to me like made up by someone who learned none. “Ego dixi”.¹

          Don’t those writing conventions and rules differ from region to region?

    This above all: to thine own self be true,

    And it must follow, as the night the day,

    Thou must copy that floppy.

      Its certainly a source if the quote came from there.

        Well, it sources where that quote came from, but the quote does not actually source their claim.

    Strange question to begin with. Of course you need to cite all your sources??
