-- Posted by boy4boy15 at 9:14 pm on Jan. 29, 2008 Ok, so I'm suppsoed to type a few 250 words or less essays online, which shouldn't be too hard but I'm given this: Hint: Keep spaces, hard returns, indents and tabs to a minimum for better formatting when your application is printed. It won't let me use 'tab' to indent at the beginning of a parapgraph so my writing already looks kind of unorganized and put together, I like it to be organized and thought provoking. anyways, should i continue to double space after i get a new idea or should i play it safe (or not?) and not use any spacing or indentation? -- Posted by gummybearking at 9:15 pm on Jan. 29, 2008 Play It Safe! -- Posted by smiles123 at 9:18 pm on Jan. 29, 2008 maybe just space the paragraphs, don't use tab? i dont kno -- Posted by Vandinenator at 9:23 pm on Jan. 29, 2008 Definitely use a spell check and proofread it if it's a scholarship essay.  "help on an scholarship essay"  "a", not "an".  spelled "supposed"  wrong, "250 words or less" should either be in quotes or have hyphens between them "type a few 250-words-or-less essays"   and "...and put together, I like it to..."  just a few things I noticed.  You'll probably do it better when it's the actual essay and not a blog, but still.  If you'd like, you can send it to me and i'll proofread it, i've been proofreading things for like... 5 years
