On a final and probably unrelated note, a quick Google search showed
me that, just like with its predecessors, the documentation of the 7th
edition of the style will only be available to you if you pay for it.
That by itself, should be more than enough reason for the academic
world to abolish the style altogether. They shouldn't be asking you
for payment, they should be grateful that you even considered using
their style to begin with. I consider their behaviour towards their
user base extremely contemptuous.

???

Do you know anything at all about why document styles exist, or what
the Modern Language Association is?

Do you also feel that the University of Chicago Press should
distribute copies of the Chicago Manual of Style free of charge?

"grateful that you even considered using their style"???

Have you ever done any research work? written a scholarly article? or
even a term paper?
