Yes it helps, especially because your last paragraph caused me to break out in laughter that had a distinctly evil edge.
Seriously, though, it did help--Sometimes around here I have the rep as the evil bitch from hell because I actually expect them to use MLA and have at least the parenthetical citations nearly flawless. I just don't think putting the author's name and the page number in parenthesis is all that f***in' hard. Nice to here that my sense that "Hey, this is college and it was in writing" isn't an unreasonable mark by which to set my standards. Thanks!
