I had seen that Purdue Online Writing Lab, but opted to leave it out in the face of the gargantuan list I was already dealing compiling..... but you DO make me have to rethink that.

Thanks

What made me include it is that they promote the Modern language Association formatting and style guide...which leads to the headquarters of the MLA in New York, which leads to some political controversy with the MLA.

Proposing an academic boycott of Israel - the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) resolution was rejected in a 113 to 79 vote during its annual meeting in January 2017.

Also the Modern Language Association has been accused of filing politically motivated copyright complaints against the conservative YouTube channel, Legal Insurrection. This resulted in YouTube pulling 8 years of their content without notice January 13, 2018. Looks like their channel is back up without the content.

The reason was a suit filed by the MLA based on copyright claims to audio of the vote on the Israel divestment resolution, which Legal Insurrection posted.

This is important because it relates to the new EU copyright law which potentially threatens fair use of copyrighted material, and a lot of content on the internet, including FR.
