Afternoon all.

I hate word limits on essays! I managed to hit the exact maximum word limit on my last piece of coursework but with great difficulty!

Word limits are great though, if it says maximum no need to hit it Usually about 100 below it will suffice.

Yeah, usually more than 10% below and you'll be penalised. They also help you know the level of detail you need to go into.

My course likes to set low word limits to get us to write concisely. In the last piece of coursework, I could easily have written double the word limit as I'd so much information!

I would have run you over, and you'd have deserved it for not looking properly

Well he said "again" which implies he rarely looks when he crosses the road and causes annoyance

You couldn't have otherwise surely you wouldn't have been stupid enough to cross when a car was coming towards you?
