Word Counts

Word count limitations or requirements are ludicrous. The point of any paper should be to write until you have proven your argument or discussed the topic to your full intellectual satisfaction. When I write a good paper, and then spend just as long as I spent writing it editing it down to fit some arbitrary word limit, or adding in nonsense to reach a minimum, I am mildly incensed. Just one more reason why I love learning, and hate homework.

word count: 80.

Condensed?

I usually write just the right amount of words. Don't box me in with your requirements.
