It would be helpful to see an example that includes a citation. It always trips me up.

Brutal, but brilliant. I'm writing this one down!

Thank you for putting this on the list. For me, procrastination is a symptom of anxiety.

I have been using The Bedford Glossary of Critical and Literary Terms (Ross Murfin/Supriya M. Ray) across numerous courses. It's so helpful to quickly look up a term that I'm unfamiliar with when reading others' work.
