I have a 2300 word essay due, which is a critique on Jared Diamond's book on the Spanish Conquest of the Inca Empire due in about 6 hours time.

I still haven't started B)

I hope you've read the book at least! Otherwise, you might have to pull one of these sort of things...http://www.theonion.com/articles/ask-a-highschool-student-who-didnt-do-the-required,12210/

Yeah I've read the book. It's easy though. Basically Diamond's argument comes down to 'Guns, Germs and Steel'; which is really easy to work with. All I have to do is define what he means by those, agree with them, then pack in my essay with quotes from other authors to support my argument :lol:

Patois is impossible to understand! There are tons of Jamaicans in Toronto and if you hang out in certain areas, you will hear it all the time. I just know a few swear which always seems to be the first thing most of us learn in new languages.

Glorious padding...gotta love those footnotes. "Ibid" is only one word but it takes up a whole line!

Uhoh, I think I'm running into trouble here. I've completed the first paragraph, and I've already got 600 words down without a single quote. It'll be really hard to keep under the limit.

Chicago Style Referencing is something loathesome. Why can't they let me use Harvard Style?!

What the limit is 2300? I thought you said the minimum was 2300....
