In many cases you can't blame them for being slow. Not only is their 
only known option a proprietary format, but tons of sites, including 
specifically education services such as TurnItIn.com, to this date do 
not accept open document formats for uploads while accepting most other 
formats. At least they take TXT, or I would have been out on several 
essays for the past few years, although I still lost points because it 
wasn't formatted "correctly".
