Any English majors in here?
« on: June 02, 2010, 05:16:53 PM »
I am in a predicament.  I have a paper due tomorrow, that unfortunately because of some Army training that caused me to miss class, I have a total of 1 day to write and submit the final draft.  It's only 1,000 words and I should be done with it sometime tonight, but if anyone who knows MLA formatting wants to volunteer to proofread it that would be awesome.  Send me a PM and I can email a .doc file to you when I'm finished.  Thanks.

MLA and not APA?

Outside of the sciences, MLA was still the standard when I was in college.  Pretty much only the pre-med kids had to bother learning APA.

I can do all the citations and works cited myself on Word.  I just need someone who can actually proofread the paper.  I was gone when the class did rough drafts and editing, so my first and only draft is the submission.

I feel ya.  My masters thesis is due in 14 days.  I have about 40-50 pages left to write.  The next 2 weeks are going to suck.
