That is a nice format. Am I allowed to nitpick? Because one of those quote you used (are they even real quotes?) totally has a grammar nitpick.

I am quite proud of it.

Off course they are, why wouldn't they be? The first is from a business journal thingy and the second one is from an article about how independent media can flourish on the internet as the costs of printing and so on is removed.

The second quote I assume? It is a quote from an interview so I can't change the grammar on it, if you are thinking of "more fast" instead of "faster"?

lol yep that's exactly what I was going to say.

I have no idea why they wouldn't be real quotes but I've seen some weeeiiiird writing choices going through academia so I always ask about these things now.

It annoys me, but I am not allowed to change what someone said, then it wouldn't be a quote anymore. And I can't be bothered to see if I can find another quote that fits so it will stay.

Talking about quotes, I really, really want to use a Doctor Who quote for my sources, the one about books, the greatest weapon in the world, I do study film/tv so it is in the correct ballpark, but on the other hand it isn't really the most professional thing on earth. I also had to talk myself out of using this: I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. as my quote for the conclusion chapter thing, because I have a very, very strong suspicion that my conclusion will not be all that great.

Nah, academic writing is my Superpower, I know what I am doing. But I know what you mean, it is interesting how many weird stuff people manage to do even when they are told how to do it correctly. I keep teaching people in my class how to name their exams when they are handed in electronically, and we have been doing this for 3 years now, there is a link on every damn subjects page to the exam info page and still people don't know it.
