Annoying Ways People Use Sources

One of the annoyances that Kyle Stedman lists in his essay is the Dating Spider-Man annoyance. He explains that the annoyance consists on quotes. Sometimes, people decide to start paragraphs on quotations, or also ending paragraphs in quotations as well. This is annoying for Kyle Stedman because he thinks it is confusing or disorienting. He says that ending a paragraph on a certain quote, leves the reader on a thought that is not followed, of analysed; it just ends there because it is the end of the paragraph. When it is used at the beginning of a paragraph, its like you are being thrown a quote that you don't know how to think about, your were never guided on how to interpret it. A good example of how this feels is like when you are having a conversation with somebody. Imagine that you have an engaged conversation with a friend, for example, and he or she ends the conversation by saying something that leaves you intrigued, or surprised, and instantly leaves after that. Or let's say you are talking on the phone, and your friend ends the conversation with some impacting news or gossip, that you definitely want to know more about, but then hangs the phone, leaving you wanting to know more, leaving wanting to explain.

I think out of the annoyances listed, the one that I use the most in my essays is the one about the citations, the I Can't Find the Stupid Link annoyance. I mess up often on my citations and works cited page, and those are issues that I should get solved. To fix this I just have to make sure I use the first word of my works cited citation on the in text citation.

If I was a college professor I would rank the annoyances as they are in the text, the first one being the most annoying, and the last one being the least annoying. If I was a newspaper editor, a college student, or a blogger, I think the order would still be the same. I think this shows that these annoying ways people use sources are as annoying for everybody.
