Hi Devorah,
You are doing exactly what I would do. Just my two cents. Thanks for all of your help! And everyone else's hard work too! Can't have anyone feeling as though volunteering goes unnoticed! 

Peace,

Hi you all,
The last time I asked a question it was about bullets. Well, the book I had downloaded looked like it had a lot of bullets at first glance. It is from 1963. It?s a classic, though, Stigma, by Erving Goffman and although the language is dated, he still has a lot of good stuff to say, so I thought I would take a copy of the paperback out of the library and go through the book carefully. Today the paperback arrived at my library. I brought it home. The bullets in the scanned book turned out to be footnotes. Teeny tiny little numbers which scanned as bullets, asterisks, and other weird symbols.
It makes sense to me to just have footnote numbers the same size as the regular text, but I thought I should ask. I?m on Chapter 1 and already up to footnote 67. So for example here?s a fragment. It?s footnote 67 and I just have it in the middle of the text. Is this correct? There are a gazillion footnotes and before I do any more I thought best to ask. The ellipses before and after are mine, stuck in to indicate it?s a fragment out of context. 

?teasing, ostracism, and fights.67 Interestingly, the more the child is?

Thanks,
Devorah
