This is a really good trick that will help you meet your quota for the papers you are writing in college or high school. It is nearly impossible to spot, and it can add pages to your paper.

I saw this yesterday and was going to post it with a completely different outlook that you have.

When I was in highschool I got points off for making my essays too long. I never understood why people would go through so much trouble to fill an essay with BS. It's sad.

Its not really sad. Have u written any college research papers? Its a cool trick, i tried it on a paper from freshman year that was 7.5 pages and it made it a full 8 pages. Sometimes they give u a minimum amount of pages it must be, but certain things don't need to be that long. As you have found out, being long winded is not necessarily a good thing, so when you write a 15 page paper that can be done much more efficiently in 10 the rest of the 5 pages is filler which degrades the paper.

Yea but on the other hand I do know where you are coming from. I've been given a max amount of pages and wish I had more room to add some important facts. So it definitely works well both ways. I didn't even think of it like that till you said something

1320wrx · 03-10-2007, 10:05 AM

When im wrting I like to get rite to the point. Why give someone 5 pages of bull to read, when only 4 of them discuss the point that needs to be proven, Thats when you loose the readers attention.

MPowerKai · 03-10-2007, 12:32 PM

Sweet, I'm definately going to use that

Gregory · 03-10-2007, 01:09 PM

james_ls · 03-10-2007, 01:41 PM

Most of my college professors never gave me a minimum amout of pages to write. They always looked at the quality of the paper, rather then the amount of paper that you used.

Evo8kid · 03-10-2007, 07:44 PM

haha i thought i was crafty..im gona use that

SIDE NOTE: also if you are writing a paper that is double spaced...highlight everything, right click, go to paragraph, go to line spacing, and click at least. make at least about 32 or 34, it looks almost exaclty like double space, but it will have you some serious pages

Rey The Great · 03-10-2007, 07:47 PM

i should of known this when i was in college.

dickerdieter · 03-10-2007, 07:50 PM

dickerdieter · 03-10-2007, 07:56 PM
