... word limits.  A perennial.  If it needs ten words, use ten, if it merits 1000, use 1000.  The necessary evil of word limits of university submissions drives me nuts, especially when they claim they want something with depth to it.  I've always used up my 10% margin, and where permitted the option of appendices and attachments.  Now trying to write a journal of theological reflection online in under 500 words a go is proving a challenge and a half - not helped by having been trained to write them at ~2k words a go!  Ah well, precis skills to be honed before final submission methinks.
