			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can&#8217;t say enough about Purdue University&#8217;s <a title="OWL" target="_blank" href="http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/">Online Writing Lab</a> (OWL). Quite frankly, if CommaTrauma can&#8217;t answer your questions, go ask the OWL. I have yet to find a website that is as thorough, as accessible, and as accurate.</p>
<p><strong>Citations:</strong> Can&#8217;t find how to cite websites in MLA? Ask the <a target="_blank" title="OWL - MLA Website Citation" href="http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/09/">OWL</a>. Need to know the APA rules for citing works by more than three authors? Ask the <a target="_blank" title="OWL - APA In-Text Authors" href="http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/03/">OWL</a>. Honestly, the Research and Citation section of their site should answer <em>most</em> of your basic citation questions.</p>
<p><strong>Grammar:</strong> Honestly, if everyone would read OWL&#8217;s tips regarding grammar, CommaTrauma would cease to exist. Confused at the difference between a <a target="_blank" title="Your modifer is dangling..." href="http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/597/01/">dangling modifier</a> and a <a target="_blank" title="Owl - Dependent Clauses" href="http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/598/01/">dependent clause</a>? Are your <a target="_blank" title="OWL - Subject/Verb Agreement" href="http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/599/01/">subjects and verbs</a> at odds? The OWL&#8217;s got what you need.</p>
<p><strong>Writing: </strong>You want information on writing? OWL has useful hints and tips about professional writing, technical writing, scientific writing, academic writing, writing in the social sciences, writing in engineering, creative writing, writing for literary criticism, the writing process, and job search writing. (That&#8217;s a lot of writing&#8230;)</p>
<p>So there you go. You have now been introduced to the OWL. Now bond.</p>
