How do I cite Twitter in MLA Style?
Answer
MLA recommends citing a Tweet in the following format:
Last Name, First Name [@Twitter Handle]. "Full text of tweet." Twitter, Day Mon. Year of
Tweet, Time of Tweet, URL.
Lakoff, George [@GeorgeLakoff]. “Orwellian language points to weakness. When you hear Orwellian language, note where it is, because it is a guide to
where they are vulnerable.” Twitter, 21 Oct. 2021, 12:22 p.m., twitter.com/GeorgeLakoff/status/1451222303728029706?s=20.
