I'm sorry Chris but you are becoming even more of a ranter as well as trying to sound intelligent "ibid" for god's sake - you never studied Latin did you? and now you have Phil begging to be linked to your sad site.

chained_bear commented on the word ibid
I have a vague feeling of danger when I see this term. It comes from using it in college/grad school papers. In word processing programs, footnotes are automatically renumbered when you cut/paste text and move it around. Unfortunately the auto-renumbering feature does not extend to changing the "ibid" in the actual footnote when it refers to the source listed in the footnote directly before it.
So while you're editing your doc, all the Ibids are moving around in the footnotes. That's a recipe for disaster. So I never use them anymore.
