Times Newer Roman is a new font to make academic papers appear longer.

Times Newer Roman is designed to add length to any academic paper that has page requirements and also requires the use of Times New Roman.

[...] This means that a paper of given word count will have more length when rendered in Times Newer Roman instead of the old Times New Roman—hopefully without being noticeable to whoever's job it is to grade the paper.

Bigger and therefore better academic papers help advance the state of the art.

    It would be better for students to be proud of their level of mastery of the subject and be happy to demonstrate it, rather than their ingenuity in cheating.

    I've found it an interesting attribute of growing up, like how attitudes towards snow change.

    Child: "How can I write a 100-word book summary? That's so many words!"
    Teenager: "I need to write a 2000-word book summary. How am I going to fill that space?"
    Adult: "You need me to write a 5000-word contract proposal about why my company is the best? How can I possibly get my word-count that low? Can I please have another 3000 words to use?"
