Annoying Ways People Use Sources

Due: Sunday January 28th at 11:59 pm.

Kyle Stedman lists some of the ways he has seen people use sources that really annoy him. He terms them: armadillo roadkill, dating Spider-Man, Uncle Barry and his Encyclopedia of Useless Information, Am I in the Right Movie?, I Can't Find the Stupid Link, and I swear I did Some Research.

Summarize one of these annoyances. Give examples of the annoyance you summarize, that are not used in Kyle Stedman's article. You can make them up or you can take from another text, but be sure to cite if you do take from another text.

Out of the annoying ways people use sources, which annoying way do you do most in your writing? According to Kyle Stedman, how can you correct this specific annoyance?

And, as Kyle Stedman asks, "Rank the annoyances in order of most annoying to least annoying, pretending that you are a college professor. Now, rank them from the point of view of a newspaper editor, a popular blogger, and another college student. What changes did you make in your rankings?" (Stedman 255).
