If you submit a paper without double checking it you deserve your grade as is so it kinda ruins the excuse. To a halfway diligent teacher there is no way to get around the word count clause. Length? Sure there are some work arounds. Of course even then they're not foolproof.
The best paper I ever wrote; a 11 page persuasive argument that people shouldn't be afraid of medical advancements, even with misguided ethical arguments, was written in one night and I didn't double-check anything I wrote besides my sources. The professor I turned that paper into stated at the beginning of the class nobody would ever get a 100. I received a 100. He wanted to recommend my essay to be published in "The Dallas Morning News", the paper he worked for prior. I looked at him and said a book would be easier than cramming a 11 page paper into half an article in a newspaper, but thanked him for the thought.
A few days later I read through exactly what I wrote. The grammatical errors were astounding. None of it mattered; the idea was still conveyed in such a structurally sounded way and was so compelling he was forced to overlook the obvious clerical mistakes. How often do you get to read an essay that says gene-splicing an immortal jellyfish is a fucking great idea? I wasn't
kidding about a book being easier; cramming the 30 pages I originally planned into 11 was way harder than going on for another 200.
Anyway, my point is that that isn't entirely true @lucky11
Well, yes it is since you got the grade you deserved for the paper you turned in. Nothing about your paper negated what I said, if anything it just proves that your well above average when it comes to writing papers. So I'll stand by what I said about getting the grade you deserve if you don't double check your work.
If you're so vapid you can't write the essay in the first place. either you need a new subject or a better education.
If you can make your point in one sentence, it's probably not a point worth discussing because everyone already agrees or already found it stupid.
