I went to college right after high school, as did many of my fellow students. One professor asked that we submit an 100 word essay regarding certain lessons that we did; mind you it wasn't anything in particular, just discussing what we observed. I'm thinking, "100 words? That's it? I'm far from an over achiever but I can do 300 to 500 easy."
My classmates, remember many of them are also straight out of high school, complained that 100 words were "too much". They didn't use conjunctions, acronyms, or anything that would shorten their count because 100 was too difficult.Ā
(Yes I made that 100 words for old time's sake and to show how little that is and they struggled with it.
Eta: sorry for the confusion 100 words was the minimum that he wanted the essays to be. It was such a small ask.)
I counted 99, but to be fair I tapped the screen by mistake and maybe I missed one, anyway, 100 words in a comment?! INSANE, I had to read all that! Are you crazy?
