What is the thesis of Stedman's article "Annoying Ways People Use Sources"? *

There’s something similar between these two people: the knowledgeable driver who thinks, “I thought all drivers knew that the left lane is for the fastest cars,” and the reader who thinks, “I thought all writers knew that outside sources should be introduced, punctuated, and cited according to a set of standards.”

It will be a lot harder for readers to take you seriously if they think you’re ignorant or rude.

When I strategically learn the expectations of my U.S. academic audience, what I really want to say comes across smoothly, without little annoying blips in my readers’ experience.

Notice that I’m not saying that there’s a particular right or wrong way to use conventions in my writing.

Which annoying quotation habit described by Stedman sounds like something you might do? Give an example from your Doc1 or Doc2. *
