That's the way I feel sometimes when I get some of your work; too many colors and shapes and sizes are enough to make me dizzy, so I want to make standard the way you should submit writing via computer to me your English teacher. Please refer to this post all year long so that there won't be any confusion. We've talked about this in class but I still see some very strange looking assignments turned in to me.
All text must be typed in black with no highlighting of the text. The background of the application, be it MS Word, or Neo Office's word processor, or any other word processing program you use must be white, or unchanged. Do not put any borders on your writing submission, nor is there any need for header or footer information. If you save your document properly that provides me with all the identifying material I need to grade and return your work to you. At the moment, I don't care which font you use as long as it's legible. However, avoid the fancy, artistic fonts available on your word processors. Also, make sure you are typing from left to right; align your text via the format command so that the words flow from the left side of the page to the right side, not the other way. Finally, do not use a font size larger than 16 for work you turn in to me.
I respect everyone's own style of expression but in order to return your papers quickly with an explanation you can understand I'm trying to keep writing within a style that will allow me to do that. As usual if you have any questions please see me in class.
