Annoying Ways

This was a very easy read, when I saw 16 pages I thought it was going to take me forever but i got through it fairly quickly. I think Stedman gave some pretty solid advice and conveyed it in a very easy to understand, funny, and  conversational way. Annoying ways made me question every quote I've ever incorporated in an essay. I've probably annoyed a couple of my teachers but then again they've never told me anything about it. some of things are common knowledge though, i don't think I've ever written a quote without explaining it or giving it context but I'm sure I've written one with out announcing it or hinting that it was coming. i think its great that we read this before writing our essay because we are gonna be incorporating a lot of quotes in it so its nice to have a what not to do guide to it. i think its really cool that he incorporated his own students quotes i think thats an awesome praise. some of the examples that he gave seemed a little weird to me like i didn't think people actually did that. but overall it was a good and productive read, and ill definitely reference it in future essays
