I really dislike this obsession with citations, as if every post is meant as a paper for a journal. I even dislike it in scientific papers (especially in the humanities, where most of the time it just lends false credibility "see, someone else said this too", and in some cases a paragraph ends up like a mashup of 5-6 excepts cited from others, complete with a footnote mark).

If we're interested in such a trivial matter as to why the crime was called "uttering" one can always look it up.

I looked it up and could not find the answer.
