Same here, you *know* when the title is right. But if in doubt don't worry, better to leave it untitled than to have a real nasty one.

AMEN! pretentious titles make both me and markers vomit violently all over the works. Think, these people have been marking major works for years. They see it every year, "johhny Mc-year-twelve thinks he has gone through the looking glass and been ordained high priest of social commantary and...

as long as you dont swear for the *tee hee* value and that the profanity is absolutly vital to the development and flow of the story and the possibility it would be a lesser work if you didn't swear, yeah maybe.

I don't think swearing is a good idea. You never know what kind of marker you get, i wouldn't gamble. Remember it is an english assesment, no matter how creative you want to be, it's a critique of your english ability, swearing basically says, "im lazy and vulgar, DEDUCT MARKS FORM ME!" You see...

its at this stage i rekon i am cool enough to quote myslef. Please, for the sake of your own coolness, or what remains of it stop arguing over fonts, your making fools of yourself.

what are you, like a idiot or something?

umm, the reasearch you "did" perhaps. How it answers the enduring questions of life?

yeah, i doubt someone is gonna pull out the ruler, let alone take a mark off for having your text a few milimetres off. this convo is starting to get trivial, hell why dun you hand write it in calligraphy with the finest giant squid ink and peacock feather.
