#866 When your paper doesn't reach the minimum requirement after double spacing it

Double spacing is awesome. It's the greatest confidence booster than can possibly come out of writing for hours on end. The anticipation builds as you finish your paper, knowing the magic you're about to pull of. One click and boom, you've reached the minimum requirement and more.

So what happens when the magic doesn't work?

Click. Wait a second, what's going on here? Not cool. You can't possibly be expected to write more than you already wrote! You counted your single spaced pages, doubling that should have been enough! Well, the pages don't lie, but come on, you know what to do. Fix up those margins. Make those periods a font size bigger. Widen the spacing between those letters. If none of that does the trick, it's time to get those fingers busy typing. When double spacing magic fails us....

It's just slightly annoying.
