Sorry
for not explaining certain item used in my last post. I still have ideas in my head but have not
had much opportunity for sitting down and turning them into posts. Today feels like a Saturday and I don’t know
how I will be able to get into the swing of things as I have accepted a work
assignment at Canyonville for the remainder of the week – and so may not get
things typed up still.
APA
can stand for American Planning Association or American Poolplayers Association. I created one post in which I refered to APA
as American Preparatory Academy. For the
most part my APA references and what seems to be most popular for Google
Reference is American Psycholgical Association - which is a style of writing. The “proper” style. It often seemed like APA format was more
important than the contents. What’s up
with that? Also, many professors seemed
to prefer third person as opposed to first.
I am grateful to those that allowed or even preferred first.

Owl
Purdue is a website that adds complication and confusion to APA use – at least
in my opinion. Now that I understand
what it is, I might be able to understand it better than I did in 2016. But Owl Purdue is NOT the only website to
refer to APA nor is it the most easily understood.
