I was in college back when much of the student body had to rely on a computer lab with only dot-matrix printers to hard-copy our work. I had one professor reject a paper because he didn’t like the font (when the only printer “font” available at the time was something that looked exactly like Microsoft Sans Serif –a reality that was completely lost on him.) Another professor rejected a paper because I submitted it on draft-grade paper (one step above newsprint,) instead of the acid-free archival paper he evidently preferred but neglected impress upon the class.
I appreciate wanting to use the best materials available & show respect, but for chrissakes: a) college-student ? broke, and b) I wasn’t writing the Magna Fucking Carta.
