I just posted my entry for the "Take Your Daughter to Work Day" challenge. It weighs in at 21010 words. That's just about what I can read in a single setting. I hope you all are comfortable with that.

Liar!
According to the BCTS page, it's only 21,009 words.

Who dares dabble with the dark arts...
...of word counting?
There are no hard and fast rules beyond the obvious cases, just whatever each application decides to do.
Hyphenated words, punctuation, titles, metadata, markup, ... A difference of a few percent here and there is very lilely.
After editing
I posted this blog post before I looked over my story and spotted a formatting error that inserted a word. So after editing that out, yeah, 21009 would be right.
