The Supramarket should not be using Id. so many times in a row without giving the full citation again.

The bluebook and the italicized or not Id’s can go screw themselves…

I don’t think the citation supports the proposition . . . better recall the can of peas from the stockroom to double check.

The fourth can of peas needs a parenthetical.

The fact that people are commenting here by debating whether the period should be italicized . . . tells me I’ve come to the right place.

Ok–the inspiration for this came from an E. Martin….he’s had a few good ideas, including what led to the “passim” Courtoon. Well done, sir.

This Courtoon is one of my all-time favorites. Great work, David!

Did the Bluebook change? The 18th edition says “Note that the period at the end of ‘id.’ is always italicized.” It also says “The underline always runs under the period.”

The inspiration for this one came via e-mail to me some time ago, and I can’t find the e-mail. If that person reminds me who he is, I’ll give appropriate credit here.
