No. I'm British.

Good luck. I would guess if you're doing a doctorate, you'll have to
follow the submission rules. The ones I had (University of Nottingham)
were quite explicit about margin sizes and line spacing.

I think the point is that examiners like to be able to scribble things in
the margins and between the lines, perhaps so that they can ask you nasty
questions when it comes time to defend your work.
