Crawl, before you learn to walk

His comment box was right below his blog post and I thought it was strange that he had no comments and I scrolled down the screen and figured that… he had 154 comments… - it was clear that I wasn’t the only one who was amazed by his detailed observations…and man I hope it’ll help me get that A.

Last night (or this morning) at 2:46am I was working on my English essay (clearly because I didn’t want nothing to be done during the long, rare break) and came up with a curiosity of “fonts”. Yes, fonts. Honestly, the only way to impress the readers in essays, which all have black words on white blank pieces of papers, is to decorate with words… or use appealing fonts. I mean, fonts such as CARTOON fonts or sTylIsh fonts won’t give any effects, instead it will hurt the grade. 

I googled the title “fonts of essays” and unexpectedly found a great blog written by Phil Renaud (click here). He statistically proved that fonts do matter long story short, out of 52 total essays he wrote during his college career, he wrote 23 styled with font “Georgia” and average grade of all the essays was an A. and to support the idea, he wrote 18 essays and averaged B-… 11 Times New Roman; averaged A-.

As a college student, Phillip was extremely logical; everyone knows Theories are not so splendid, when it is just common sense fitted into a sentence.

“…assuming that the professor marking the papers generally sees a few hundred in Times font every semester…”

I could not be any more agreeable to this, since it was made so much sense. Minding that line as one of the trailers for Phillip’s blog, I strongly recommend checking out his blog. It’s amusement can’t be described in words.

My concern right now is if I’d done the right thing, to post a blog about a “shortcut” to get an A when there is a chance for my English teacher to read this post before I even handed in the essay… =) Thankyou, Phillip.
