APA formatting

With the Christmas vacation coming I cant think of a better way to spend the holidays than shopping =] buuuuuuut that's not what I'll be doing haha. I will have to spend a large sum of time writing a paper for Mrs.Mayes class. Now I don't mind writing the paper I actually like papers its the gay formatting I hate. APA & MLA. All these stupid rules apply. I feel like Hitlers standing behind me while I write. MARGINS ONE INCH FROM ALL SIDES! DON'T YOU FORGET DOUBLE SPACE. HAIL HITLER! Its that intense. Here's just a few that press my buttons the wrong way.

Margins-1 inch from each side.
Abstract- A beginning summary
Title in right hand corner- Explains itself
Must be typed- see other blog entry.

First of all the whole margin thing is severely overrated. I mean come on. Would you notice if the margins were 1 1/8 inch instead of 1 inch? And if so would you fail for it. Seriously? If you spend your life deciding how far margins go from the sides, kill yourself.

And the whole abstract thing? Are you really that lazy you can't read the title and see what its about? You really need a summary to tell you what abortion or death penalty is. That's even lazier than me.

Right hand corner title? What why? If you forgot the title after reading the first page you shouldn't be grading papers in the first place. Take a nap or something.

And now in the year 2008 almost 2009 everyone expects everyone to have a computer with Microsoft word and a printer. I myself have only had notepad for a long time and it's printing abilities are pretty awquard. And there is a website where you can get word for 80 bucks I guess? But that's still a lot of money if you think about it. For a family that barely scraps by that's the cable bill or the grocery cart full of necessary supplies. If your that non apathetic to the poor you don't deserve to teach children.

So to sum it up APA doesn't really mean American Psychological Association it means Annual Pain in YOUR @$$.

=] Thank you and goodnight.
