The paragraph is the exact same length. In a 5 page paper, this MIGHT add at MOST 1 extra line. There are many other "tricks" that can help such as increasing size of period, adding 2 spaces at the end of a sentence, changing border size, making the spacing greater between paragraphs, but why go through with all this bullshit when you can easily bullshit a few extra lines in under a minute and get the same result?

An easy way to bullshit things without bullshitting is simple repetition.
Example:
Nextgenupdate is an awesome website. Because nextgenupdate is so awesome, I enjoy visiting it daily.

Another good tip is not to use contractions. Contractions shorten your paper and by not using them at all, your paper looks longer and more professional.

One of the best tips is also not to use pronouns. Instead of he, write the name of the person. Instead of it, write out what it is. Removing most of your pronouns in a 5 page paper can easily add another 1/3 page.

if you actually look at it, it added 5 lines to the one that's a whole page long.
that makes a difference when writing a 6 page essay.
you can also edit the commas, not just the periods.
plus the stuff you mentioned works for high school papers. but not necessarily for college papers

The only reason it "appears" to be longer is because the spacing from the periods made the spacing between each line a little bit bigger. Changing the periods in this sense is the equivalent of changing between single spacing and 1.5 spacing.

The "stuff" I mentioned will actually work better in college papers.

Most professors that want you to use APA format will make sure you add 2 spaces after each sentence, they will make sure you do not use any contractions, and they will make sure your paper makes sense. Repetition means clarity and clarity is what you want.

A shorter essay that is written properly is worth more than the same essay lengthened using fillers. Just sayin...

I beg to difer.

You:
A cat is stuck in a tree. Firefighters came to get him down but they failed.

Me:
A cat that belongs to Santa Clause is stuck on top of the green Christmas tree. Firefighters, who by the way were elves, came to get him down. While trying to get him down, the cat turned into a reindeer and flew away.

I will agree that your statement is better than "mine", but yours is longer because it includes valid information, not just repetitious fillers.

Good: A cat is stuck in a tree. Firefighters came to get him down but they failed.

Poor: A cat is stuck in a tree. Firefighters came to get the cat down from the tree that it was stuck in. The firefighters were unable to get the cat down from the tree that it was stuck in.

Both statements convey the same idea, except the "poor" example is lengthened by using repetitious filler words. Your example was a definite improvement on the original "A cat is stuck in a tree. Firefighters came to get him down but they failed." statement, but it was lengthened by using additional facts.

Edit: From my experience in college, professors will give you a better grade on a paper that is shorter than the minimum length but flows nicely and is not chock full of filler words, modified font, ect...except if you have a nazi for a teacher that only grades on length, not quality. (Thats what she said?)
