Annoying Ways People Use Sources

One of the annoyance I read in the short article, Annoying Ways People Use Sources was called Armadillo Roadkill. This annoyance goes into depth on how in some instances in writing, some people just add quotes in without warning, giving it the name Armadillo Roadkill. It basically means that while, you are reading you abruptly get stopped by a piece of evidence that is added without it flowing or tying the story together. For example,

Parties are great." Having parties form the ages 2-5, improves a child's mental health through their adolescents." I am going to have multiple themes for my child for his birthday.

This quotation has no information, or barely any reasons to why it was put there. While, writing you should at least warn the readers, or add the author. There should be a set up where, the reader knows that a quotation is going to be written.

Out of all of the annoyance, the annoyance I do the most in my writing is, Am I in the right movie. I tend to not have my subjects and verbs match when writing. I believe it because English isn't my first language, and I write base on what I think sounds write but overall I am getting better. To fix the problem, Kyle says to read my essay out loud, which will allow you to hear if a sentence is grammatical incorrect.

College Professor-

I can't find the stupid link, armadillo roadkill, uncle Barry and his Encyclopedia of Useless Information, I swear I did some research, dating spider-man, and Am I in the right movie.

Newspaper editor-

I swear I did some research, I can't find the stupid link, Am I in the right movie, Barry and his Encyclopedia of Useless Information, dating spider-man, armadillo roadkill.

Popular Blogger- Barry and his Encyclopedia of Useless Information, armadillo roadkill, dating spider-man, Am I in the right movie, I can't find the stupid link, and I swear I did some research.

Another College Student- Am I in the right movie, Barry and his Encyclopedia of Useless Information, armadillo roadkill, dating spider-man, I swear I did some research, I can't find the stupid link.

I change certain rankings because different people with different power/authority has certain expectations for what the job description desires. For example, College professors emphasizes the importance of links while the other people require other aspects.
