Personnally it is all crap Vancouver ought to rule if there were any real
logic, it varies from Journal to journal and in my opinion it is the bloody
petty editors who ought to kick it into touch not the author, cos what the
hell if the citations are there does the punctuation really matter it is the
quality of the paper that counts.
What really angers me is that so called disability studies quarterly that
would have me write in bastard Amercan English as if that is somehow more
correct than Chaucer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! never mind
Bede who probably could not spell Spearwa correctly.
If every academic took the stance they ought the bloody journals would be
out of business. Take a stance for F's sake and use the vernacular (whatever
it is to you)
