Kyle D. Stedman's article, "Annoying Ways" made very helpful points on how to properly cite sources without creating an "annoyance" to readers. I enjoyed how he compared writing to annoying slow drivers and added a sense of humor. The most useful mechanism he used was showing an annoying way to insert a citation, then showing how to properly fix it and explaining why it isn't considered correct. I think seeing these example will help me when it comes to revising my paper, because not only can I see what I was doing wrong, but I also know how to fix my mistakes. I'm definitely going to use this article to help improve my paper when it is time to revise my paper.

I agree that Stedman did well in educating his readers and getting his point across with humor as well as the very relatable scenario of driving. His addition of a how to fix it part also made his article easy and clear to navigate and I too will use his advice in the future.
