Dandelions

However, you have one glitch.  We italicize the titles of journals.  You forgot to do this; it distracts the reader from an otherwise first-rate performance.  Your humble servant here loves to do lawn work for relaxation.  He cuts the grass routinely; dandelions retaliate by popping up straight and tall after the mowing.  The point is one sprouting dandelion distracts the eye of the viewer from the 99% cut grass.  The passerby sees the dandelion - not the cut grass - first, and likely last.  You get the picture.  Think of this example when you prepare manuscripts.  The manuscript is the lawn; the glitch like missing italics is the dandelion.  You still earn full credit.  Keep up your good work.
