So next time you’re drowning in footnotes, remember: citing one author with multiple works is just smart chunking. You’re not repeating yourself—you’re showing off. A reader sees that you’ve really explored this writer’s brain. And that, my friend, is the academic equivalent of saying, “I know this person. Like, really know them.”
Now go forth. Cite with confidence. And if you still mess up? Just pretend it’s a deliberate satire of MLA rules. Professors love a good joke—as long as it’s in the correct font.
You’ve got this. And if you don’t, at least you know the three-hyphen trick. High five.
