<p>Hey, I just thought I'd let you know about a little tip I've discovered while writing my college app essays to conserve words. As obvious and silly as it sounds, if you can, make conjuctions! Could not=couldn't, I am=I'm etc..... I just saved 10 words doing that in my essays haha.</p>
<p>you should never use conjunctions for academic papers</p>
<p>...lol.....</p>
<p>"you should never use conjunctions for academic papers"</p>
<p>Common myth. You can use conjunctions, but don't use them in places where it sounds more appropriate to use both words......soemtimes the longer veersion doesnt sound right.</p>
<p>yes
there is no problem in using conjunctions as long as they are appropriate</p>
