It's one of those things that falls into personal taste in the end, unless there's an established reason for it. I personally think it looks a bit redundant and so tend not to do it, but at the same time, I can understand how it would look "incorrect" to someone else. So those of you with teachers who insist on doing it one way or the other can tell them to get stuffed.* | ||
