In Annoying Ways People Use Sources, Kyle Stedman discusses a few annoying ways people incorporate sources into their writing. One of these ways is called "Am I in the Right Movie?" and refers to when the grammar of a quotation doesn't fit with the sentence it's quoted in. For example: There are many models of calculators in use today which "is very useful for many different calculations" (Johnson, 2019). In this example, the plural subject "calculators" is paired with the singular verb "is" in the quote. A more correct quote might read: A calculator is a fantastic invention that "is very useful for many different calculations" (Johnson, 2019). Be sure the grammer matches the sentence when quoting!
