Are you high?
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); You know that paper you are writing for school? Does it look like crap? Does it look like you barely spent any time on it? Well here's a little trick to make it look like you put a little effort into your work and make it a tad bit longer. I learn this trick from a family member and it's been useful.

All you have to do is take all the punctuations and increase the font size.In the examples below I was using font size 12 so for the punctuations I used font size 14. It is pretty much impossible to tell and hardly noticeable.

In the "After Increase" I only did a few periods so just think about how long it can be if i had done all of them.

Enjoy!
Note: Only a few periods should do but if you want it longer than do more. This can be risky and there will be a noticable difference but unless your teacher/professor loves to analyze every single thing then i wouldn't risk it.
Edit: putting up better examples.

This is how my school does it, isn't it like correct MLA style or something? They also make you adjust the margins to 1" each and that makes it longer too. All of my essays end up being 2-3 pages longer than they are supposed to be. I just tell my teachers to enjoy correcting it all, they usually stop after the 2ed page.

I had a writing assignment in 10th grade where we had to come up with our own work of fiction, and so I started writing it, brought it back to my teacher, and he was like "This needs to be in MLA." and so he did that, and the story ended up being just under 50 pages long, it was so thick, we couldn't staple it, so I ended up bringing in a 3 ring binder the next day and hole punching it all and turning it in like that. it was hilarious when he turned around to the in box and screamed "OH MY GOD! IT'S BOUND!" now that I think about it, that assignment never got graded, he blamed it on me all the time, and then he stole my binder.

tl;dr I wrote a ton, teacher freaked about it, assignment never got graded.

lol'd.

Reminds me of when I used to turn in my math homework and she would always ask for students to show work. Back then I liked to write really large and my work ended up being really long and she would never look at it. The best thing is that they can't complain about it. I wonder if he just wiped that score from your grade book; he must have because if you got a 0 that's just wrong.

oh, no allow me to clarify, he decided to remove the assignment from the books in entirety, no one got graded on it at all. some students were like "dude, you're a life saver." some were like "I hate you!!!11!1one."

To get closer to on topic, anyone deciding to use this tip do it with all punctuation marks of one type, or all punctuation marks, because if you do it with some periods for example, but no all of them, something will look wrong and your teacher may catch on.

I guess it isn't really classed as cheating either.
