If you write a double-spaced paper and your professor gives you an F because it was supposed to be single-spaced, what would you do?

It's a catch22, most profs will fail you equally easily for a paper twice as long as it was supposed to be.

So it sounds like double-spaced is the way to go. That way if you get an F, at least you didn't do more work than necessary.
 
This assignment is quite easy really. Hand in a copy of Dr. Seuess's "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish."

Are you joking?!

Nope. I'm serious. I take writing papers seriously and I believe presentation is important as well as content.

just my opinion.

I'd think that would piss professors off. I like small font (like size 1 on websites, two lines of handwriting per college-ruled line), but I still think size 12 papers look fine. Do you have OCD or something?

Presentation is a lot.

That said, 12pt double spaced Times New Roman is about as ugly as you can get. I dunno why this has become the standard for papers.

There's apparently some sort of psuedogoverning body on language called the MLA. They said so, and thus it is so.

if I was your professor, I'd probably give you an insta-fail 😉 double spacing = great when you're reading a ton of papers. makes it easier for the eye to follow down the line, and it gives us room to write corrections/notations without writing over other text or cramming it in the margins.

Serif fonts are supposed to be easier on the eye as well, at least in print, which is how TNR has become the MLA standard. I'm not sure I 100% agree with that, but I think the prominance of computers is changing it. (the same theory holds that sans-serif fonts are easier to read on a computer screen).
