Thank you! In the back of my mind I knew there was a classic--https://www.amazon.com/Million-Stuffed-Shark-Economics-Contemporary-ebook/dp/B0077QZ208
I've noticed that your favorite citation is Ibid. Is this a first or last name? Male or Female? Prefix or title? E.g. ":Lady Delores van Ibid."
You just joshing me.
Sometimes I forget which..ibid or op cit.
Do people even use these anymore but me?
Yes, most of my great grandmother's friends in Sunny Acres use them.
