Grafs.

I was taught, way back when, that a paragraph was to consist of at least two sentences. When I sent my latest column into the Kansan, it was four carefully constructed paragraphs, not every sentence for itself. Unless they were trying to fill space in the actual paper, I just don't get it. And I've been doing this for oh the better part of a decade.

Article.

(OK I'll stop now). It's precisely the trick that every single schoolboy -- desperate to fill up that extra half page -- uses. Maybe they should have resorted to that other schoolday space filling standby and just made the font a point or two larger and hoped that nobody would check.
