APA - I had to look that up. mmmm. I have to use my own university's referencing system for my PhD (nearly completed, submitting soon (please god)) but have to use Harvard at the university where I am currently teaching and prefer to use a bastardised version of Chicago which I have developed to suit myself (look, it makes sense to me). I started using Chicago for preference after I submitted papers for publication to a couple of journals that use it. Sigh. Nightmare really and partly of my own making.

The 'frequency' with which Audrey sets off 'special' words with 'apostrophes' or 'single quotes' is an especially tedious affectation, given her 'claims' to be a linguistic/grammatical 'purist'.
Yes, this is the source of my 'aggression'. It is 'irritating' to read a post that is 'littered' with 'misplaced' single quotes and 'errant' apostrophes. I don't think Audrey will be getting her shiny Grammar Police badge anytime soon.

Jack Rudd:
There is an important difference between paper and internet documents when it comes to underlining; an underline on a piece of paper cannot be indicating a hyperlink. For this reason, I would probably advise against the use of underlines for internet documents.

Well, this is true; it is also unnecessary to make print out web addresses in blue on essays and other documents. No matter how hard I poke the paper, it does not transport me to the relevant website.
