Thought I could ignore the ampersand in an MLA 9 journal title and still get the point across—midterm bibliography proved me wrong. MLA 9th mandates “&” stay as is; replace it with the word “and” only in prose, not in titles. #MLAstyle

Skipped the ampersand in my MLA Works Cited entry for a journal article and the professor marked the whole bibliography invalid. The correct format: Author’s Last Name, First Name. “Title.” *Journal*, vol. 12, no. 3, 2023, pp. 45‑58. Midterms are next week, so I couldn’t afford a rewrite. #MLAstyle
When a teammate wondered how to handle a missing author in MLA 9, I told them: start the entry with the title, then “. n.p.,” and the URL, ending with the access date. Works for PDFs on a university server. #MLAstyle
