      How hard could it possibly be to generate a seventy-five word paragraph every week? For a college student? People who are literally swimming in texts and papers on a daily basis? I remember being a student, oh, lo, those 35-some-odd years ago now, and fiddling with the text size and the margins to bring my page count DOWN in order to meet guidelines. For something like a set word count, I’d meet it exactly right.

        I say as long as it’s not longer than a Twitter post, which is at most 140 characters, they should be fine.

    Inasmuch as I like that they use the tool for a reasonable use case scenario, the important thing here is the lesson. Society needs things in a certain way to function, and the sooner the kids learn this, the better.
