I don't know where I left my stuff at that tells me this. I always forget this and it drives me nuts...
If you have and Internal Cite do you put a period inside of the (), outside, or not at all?
ex) Dormain
(Dormain.), (Dormain). or (Dormain)
It's a website so I'm not required to have a page number so that is just the last name.

I dunno, I heard that there is no formal website on the MLA format. I think they make you buy the book everytime they make a change.

i think the grammar rule is that the period goes inside the parenthesis, but i have no idea how that would apply to ridiculousness like internal cite canon.

Thanks! I was afraid I was going to end up typing it all out and then having to go back and revise it later.

trust me, babe. trust me. but whaddya mean "as normal"? (there's another one. right there, would it be "as normal?" or "as normal"? i... i went to school where they stored the high school football equipment.)

this is my protosentence (and this is my secret cave.)

is that incorrect?

oh. i didn't think it mattered what you were saying in the slightest. i thought it was an unmovable pillar of grammar. if you plan on ending the sentence there, the closing parenthes.. parenthasy (hee) should be the last thing you see.

oh yeah. learning and development. whee.

EDIT: shit. i was so wrong, they thought of another example just to rub it in.

i don't care how awkward it is, that's one punctuation mark that i just can't help inserting.
