I never ceased to be amused by the perennial student who assumes I will not notice their 13pt font or the 2.5 spacing, or the extra tenth of an inch on the margins. Of course we notice. We look at hundreds of papers every year.

Of course, it has to be pointed out - in nearly all cases, trying to make length by padding out font sizes is just the student cheating themselves. Chances are, if we asked for X pages, it is because it takes X pages to answer the prompt.

I do word-counts for anything sub-1,500 words/5ish-pages, but above that I tend to give page-count guidelines. I've certainly seen students try to spoof the word-count too - using spaces before punctuation, counting footnotes, or just being extra wordy.
