We'll have to agree to disagree on the footnotes, mostly because formatting them is a bitch and MLA is so damn much easier. I also hate reading them, being pulled out of the text for something that apparently wasn't important enough to include in the first place--which is why I wanted to throw that Susanna Clarke book clear across the room. So...yeah, not a fan. Sorry.
I think APA is for snobby people who want to look like they're smarter than everyone else/ they really are. That's the only reason I can think of for the history department to be using it.
