Much better. Footnotes are the worst¹, kill them with fire. ¹There's no way to tell in advance if the note is valuable, so you always check. Then you have to scan back to find where you were originally reading. Inline notes at least fixes half of the problem.
Hmmm. I don’t personally find going down and back particularly tricky or unpleasant.¹² I do hate endnotes with passion for the same reason, though. ¹ At least on paper. Screens are another matter altogether. ² I would put footnote digit *after* punctuation, but that’s just me!
You forgetted the comma between 1 and 2, so it looks like footnote 12. This is one big reason why footnotes suck.
That was deliberate on my part. I don’t think there’s any confusion in this context.
My proofreader hooman stole my acct for a bit. There is no humor in proofreading textbooks. None.
