<p>In school I wrote this paper in MLA format and I included like ten foot notes. Can there be foot notes in MLA formatting?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that’s inconsistent with the style, but I’d say it’s okay if it’s for additional information. For references and citations, use parenthetical documentation. Might wanna get a second opinion though.</p>
<p>Oh okay, I will notify my teacher on Monday to see if it is alright. Thanks.</p>
<p>we’re doing this huge project where we have to write like 12 essays over a period of like 3 weeks, and today the teacher gave us some refreshing on MLA…</p>
<p>apparently you don’t use foot notes, and like retrohippo said, use parenthetical citations instead.</p>
<p>Yes, you can use them in MLA.</p>
<p>You’re not supposed to use it in MLA, but my teacher (who goes crazy whenever there is a mistake with the format of a paper) accepts it. I’d ask your teacher beforehand.</p>
<p>You can use them, but you should use them for bibliographical purposes and not for explanatory purposes (or just not too often)</p>
