    Minimum word counts are just stupid, if I can explain what I need too, with the correct amount of detail, in 100 less words than necessary, why shouldn’t I be able to?

      This is why, as an English teacher, I like to just give a ballpark for length, and just say it should be as long as it needs to be to get the point across successfully. If you answer the prompt in full, it should be plenty long enough.

      My college years never had me get close to minimum word count on any paper. I mostly focused on trimming shit down as much as possible.
