Annoying Sources: Stedman

In the article “Annoying Ways People Use Sources” written by Kyle D. Stedman, the beginning of the article talks about how readers get annoyed with people if they do not cite sources correctly. I agree and disagree with Stedman’s point of view. I know correctly cited the sources gives credibility  and looks good ; and it sets the tone for the writer but I think the writing itself is more important. I believe from both a readers and writers perspective that everyone has a different style that is unique to them and brings a different point of view. Yes, it is nice to have structure and a nice rubric to write off of but I think to be a successful writer you have to have your own swagger  and angle. Just like in any sport, every great player is great because they have their own swagger that fuels them and attracts fans. I view writing the same way, ya citing sources and having good writing etiquette is important but I think the individual style and tone is more attractive. I enjoy more of a blog style writing, when you have free rain to say pretty much whatever you want. It lightens the mood and makes it more fun and enjoyable for both the writers and readers, which is what it’s all about. I enjoy reading and recognizing everyone’s different styles and biases when reading. Staying true to one’s beliefs and views is important and I think it goes hand in hand with writing. If I were a teacher my protocol would be different, I would grade more on the writing and not give points away for not properly citing.
