It's not my BS. That's the industry standard, not the graphophobius standard. Pay attention. Look it up (the-efa.org/res/rates.php) or learn your place by remaining silent. This is regardless of style, font, etc.
Hey, Captain Clueless, the-efa.org is completely irrelevant to the academic writing industry for multiple reasons, including--but certainly not limited to--the following:
1. companies in the academic writing industry charge per "page" (the shady and often intentionally hidden definition of which varies greatly in that--depending on the given site--a "page" will consist of anywhere between 225 and 330 words), NOT per word;
2. the-efa.org/res/rates.php has no listed rate for "academic" or "student" writing because that organization does not endeavor to provide
either;
3. "The industry standard for a
manuscript page, however, is a firm 250 words." That statement clearly indicates that the-efa.org focuses on writing/editing services in the
professional sector. A "manuscript" is "the original text of an author's work . . . that is
submitted to a publisher".
4. Students do not write "manuscripts" for English 101. They write amateur essays and papers that are never meant for publication.
5. Students do not have the financial backing of a corporation (and they certainly can't/don't benefit from being able to write-off the total purchase amount as a business expense, thereby receiving what amounts to an approximate 25%-50% discount).
6. the-efa.org hits new members with a processing fee of $35 and ongoing "dues," making membership unattractive to most freelance essay writers because of A) the cost; B) the fact that there are very few (if any) student essays/papers available to write, anyway.
Talk about showing your ignorance! The most common style in academic writing is definitely not MLA. Show us the data, evidence, proof, blah, blah, blah. You have nothing.
"MLA (Modern Languages Association) is the most common citation style for writing in the humanities."

". . . the most common citation style for English writing in the Humanities, that of the U.S.-based Modern Language Association."

Since students who major in a humanities discipline tend to write more papers than students in any other discipline, it stands to reason that MLA is the most common citation style in academic writing.
You have no affiliation with any company or institution and nothing to show that you have any expertise to share. You're just an anonymous entity that writes a lot of words that mean little to nothing.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall . . . ."
