===Why Misplaced Pages doesn't standardize everything=== |
|
|
|
|
|
Misplaced Pages doesn't standardize section headings for citations because the real world doesn't. There are four major style guides that are heavily used in universities, and articles using each one can be found on Misplaced Pages. Each requires a different name above the list of sources that were used to support content in an academic paper: |
|
|
* '']:'' "Center the title Bibliography about one inch from the top of the page" (used by fine arts and historians) |
|
|
* '']:'' "In APA style, the alphabetical list of works cited, which appears at the end of the paper, is titled 'References.'" (used by sociologists and psychologists) |
|
|
* '']:'' "Center the title Works Cited about one inch from the top of the page." (used in humanities) |
|
|
* '']:'' "Center the title References (or Cited References) and then list the works you have cited in the paper; do not include other works you may have read." (used by scientists) |
|
|
|
|
|
Misplaced Pages hasn't chosen one over another because nobody wants to be stuck telling the English people that they have to follow scientific conventions, or the history folks that they're required to follow the English manual. |

===That, which, and who=== |
|
|
{{Babel|en|de-1|es-1|}} |
|
|
|
|
|
* The relative pronoun ''that'' is used for restrictive clauses: The car that is red is broken. (The other cars are other colors, and they are not broken.) |
|
|
* The relative pronoun ''which'' is used for non-restrictive clauses, such as a description: The car, which is red, is broken. (There's only one car, and I thought you might like to know what color it was painted.) |
|
|
* The relative pronoun ''who'' is correctly used in either of these manners, so long as the antecedent is a person. In some situations, such as describing a marginalized group of people, some people may object to the "de-humanization" of the antecedent if ''that'' or ''which'' are chosen instead of the personhood-affirming ''who''. However, ''that'' and ''which'' are grammatically correct, and their use in older and formal English is well-established. For example: |
|
|
** John 11:25 (KJV): "Jesus said unto her, 'I am the resurrection, and the life: he '''that''' believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.'" |
|
|
** Luke 16:10 (ERV): "He '''that''' is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he '''that''' is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much." |
|
|
** '']'': "He jests at scars '''that''' never felt a wound." |
|
|
** '']'': He '''that's''' content, hath enough; He '''that''' complains, has too much. |
|
|
** ]: "He '''that''' would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression." |
|
|
** ]: "He '''that''' is down needs fear no fall..." |
