Yeah, 950 is nuts.
Except I called the design person, and she *also* says 950.
Maybe they use a magic font?
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
TNR 12-point? 950 is nuts.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Which reminds me -- someone I was hanging out with the other day kept saying WTF. Like "double-you-tee-eff." It was weird.
A freind of mine does this. Every single time, I think, "Oh, dear God, C, we're adults. You can say 'fuck'"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Did these people go to college? Minimizing words pp was half of writing papers. But it's generally 1000 words=5 double spaced pages.

I know! And the pages don't look cramped! And they use headlines and pictures!
But I've asked all the People Who Ought To Know, so I guess I just need to shut up and drink the kool-aid.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
LJ, what margins -- if any -- does your boss use? b/c I just did a test page of Times New Roman 12 point, and got 573 words.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
If you find out about the magic font after you drink the Kool-Aid, try to break conditioning and tell us about it.

You know, I think that's the difference. It's definitely way less than a full inch on three sides, maybe even less than half an inch. So maybe all involved are not insane.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
WTF. Like "double-you-tee-eff."
What's weird is that's not how I pronounce WTF in my head. It's closer to "Wha-t'fuh?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Freaky. That's how my head pronounces it too.
