Lack of Education

My biggest problem with MLA was a lack of education. In high school, the teachers didn't really tell you how to do the citations, just that they needed to be done. Sure, they gave you a book and told you where you could find examples. The biggest problem, though, was the onset of technology. With the internet and Microsoft providing stencils for MLA, you never actually had to do a citation. Just plug in the info and all would be dandy! Unfortunately, I now know how sadly outdated and incorrect most of these citation "machines" are. Now that I know how to do MLA, sort of, papers will be easier to cite....hopefully.
