i honestly can't conceive of any other way to specify essay length than a word count. page count is beyond retarded. plus all academic written specifications are to word-length - as well as in the 'real' world of employment (what editor asks you to write a 7 page spread, as opposed to 'x' words?)

my america dissertation is a discussion of the following quote:

“Something died, or at least fell dormant, between the later 1960’s, when the reform impulse subsided into solipsism, and the 1980’s – two phases of our history that may seem far apart in political tone and personal style, but that finally cooperated in installing instant gratification as a hallmark of the grand life, and in repudiating the interventionist state as a source of hope” (Andrew Delbanco, The Real American Dream).

i swear bf2s has an effect on every female member so that they're prematurely menopausing non-stop

tucker and eifa should have their own chat thread so they can get all panty-twisted non-stop without us rational and level-headed men having to sift through it

I'm going to see Fast 5 today. I love the Fast and Furious movies. They are so ridiculous and over the top they're good.

That Green Lantern movie looks like shit btw.

Yeah, we were told it's best to keep the research question simple. And yeah, at this point I'm sick to death of it.

If you think about it, length and word count aren't that different (especially if as sheep said, the font and font size are predefined). How many pages is 5000 words? 10?

I've always hated specified length anyway. I don't like bullshit. If I can (thoroughly) say in three pages what someone else can say in ten I should be praised for it, not penalized.

Word counts tend to be minimum not maximums. I was about 20% under my history coursework and still got it marked and did well.
