Word counts are a way of life in modern appellate practice. The halcyon days of 70-page "briefs" are gone—never to return, see Commonwealth v. Spuck, 86 A.3d 870, 872 (Pa. Super. 2014), (discussing the demise of the 70-page rule); Commonwealth v. Stoppie, 486 A.2d 994, 996 (Pa. Super. 1984), (quoting former Pa. R.A.P. 2135(1)). Page limits invited abuse, such as "substantive arguments and sub-arguments ... set forth in footnotes [and] other compressed texts, such as block quotes or single-spaced bullet points," as in Commonwealth v. Spotz, 18 A.3d 244, 349 (Pa. 2011).

Job interviews are tough and they can be full of awkward questions. One of the awkward questions many applicants face is a potential employer's request for an applicant's compensation history. Not only is that question awkward, but some have theorized that basing starting compensation on an applicant's historical compensation perpetuates the gender and minority wage gap. As a result, a percentage increase of the current salary of an applicant who is impacted by the wage gap could result in an even wider wage gap when compared to an applicant who is not negatively impacted by the wage gap.
