<p>Okay. I hate to sound ignorant now, but I’m kind of befuddled. So, let’s say you use embedded text in the middle of a sentence. Do you infuse the parenthetical notation right after the quote, or do you put it in at the end of the sentence? Thanks, if you can answer my question.</p>
<p>any parenthetical notation is always at the end of the sentence right before the period. you don’t sound ignorant either. the only reason i remember this stuff is from listening to librarians talk about it for the past 4 years.</p>
<p>Whats parenthetical notation? Sorry for sounding like an idiot.</p>
<p>Tymel: Parenthetical notation is when you cite your source at the end of the sentence you used the source in. For example: The college confidential forums are “grotesque and violent” in their destruction of the English language (silentsailor). </p>
<p>OP: Yeah, what he said.</p>
