Use smallest font and single space to write faster
When you are typing a paper, type it in the smallest font possible without double spacing. When you are done typing it, double space it and change the font size to 12 pt. Now your paper will be way longer then it was before and as a result you will be finished faster.

This makes no sense. Switching to a larger font size doesn't increase the speed of your work or the length of your work. It simply means you used a larger font and double spaced. And if you're typing something for publication or even school work, they go by word count, NOT by page count. If this was meant as a joke, sorry.

I think what they meant was it encourages you to work towards filling up the page. I once had a prof who wanted papers typed in size 10 font. I forgot to change the font size back and typed a two page paper in size ten. When I realized what I'd done, I switched it back: 1pg./single sp./10ft=about 3pg/double sp./12ft. I did it intentionally on another paper and wound up "tricking" myself into getting a required length faster.

I am OCD about a writer using "your" when they mean you're. I suppose it is the teacher in me, and I know I make errors if I am in a hurry. I think perhaps the website should edit those errors...

Good catch, Carla. Our editors clearly missed an obvious error. The tip details have been updated and now correctly read 'you are'. Thanks for the note! Hope you enjoy the site.
