Normally I wouldn't ask this here and I would just take a paper into the tutoring center at my college for them to look at it but they take about 3 days to read over it and it's due on Tuesday so I was wondering if anyone here would like to look over it. It's a ~15 page research paper on fast food advertising to children. It'd be great if someone could read it, give me suggestions on the material, check for MLA formatting errors, and etc.

PM me for the paper. Thanks to whoever can do this. )

Picky because I want someone with an English major to read it?

Well, most people with an English major probably aren't doing much else, so I'm sure they would have time to edit your paper.

LOL

Anyway, I have a bit too much on my plate at the moment to read it as you described (I don't remember MLA and my handbook is buried away), but I could proofread it this afternoon or evening if you want.

And yes, I have an English degree.

lmao @ tylerc

But yeah, thanks Keith. You don't have to look over my MLA, it's fine. Just reading it and giving comments and suggestions would be awesome. I'll PM it to you. )

Oh my god. I was laughing so hard at that thing you threw in there. "Why does your 7-year-old have cankles?" lol

Anyway, the suggestions and corrections are awesome. I'm gonna try to revise it according to your suggestions right now. o

The file was kind of funky in Ubuntu so I checked it out in XP. Wow. Ubuntu didn't show the annotations. You really put some work into this. Thank you so much Keith. Many many thanks (and some +karma). ;)

Glad you read my comments carefully enough to catch the less serious ones. It's a good paper though; good luck.
