“How do you make sure your word count is correct when writing a 140 word fill?'
“By counting the words! There are programs that take over that for you, but you have to pay particular attention to the use of punctuation marks. When a punctuation mark is placed apart from the text, the system counts that as a word. When another word is written after a word, the system counts instead of two words, just one.'
“But how can people trust a word count system?'
“Simple. By adhering to the rules. Every punctuation mark stuck to a word does not count the system. Also, be sure to place a space between words. And furthermore, it is a good thing to realize that a number written in numbers is also counted as a word.'
