This is great! Very intellectually stimulating and thought-provoking. My concerns mirror your own. Thank you for a good read over my morning coffee.

Thanks, Angie - I appreciate your feedback! I really enjoy writing these posts.
A question to clarify the punctuation standards for MLA - what about following a title? For example, paragraph 2, the beginning of line 3, after "...Writing" - should the comma have been inside the close quotation?
Thanks again!

Yes ... except that when I look at that sentence, you should actually delete the commas all together. Putting commas around a phrase mark it as a non-essential phrase and indicate that it can be cut from the sentence without losing any meaning. In this case, we need the title. You could, however, still have a comma after the title (to set off that final phrase). In that case, the comma goes inside the quotation mark.
