I am nicely puttering along at 39,601 words, and I decide to upload my novel to NaNo, for an official wordcount.

38,838.

Bwuh, says I, and paste the whole document into Word, and check again.

38,838.

A difference of 800 words between Google-documents, which is what the original is in, and Word. What causes this, I do not know. All I know, is disbelief.

How on Ehlonna's green earth can they have a difference of 800 words?! What is wrong with them?

I hate Word. That is why I am not using it. It seems now that I have to, if I want an accurate count. Or subsequently subtract 800 words from what Google tells me the wordcount is. Ah well, I needed to write more anyway.

See if I am using Google next year for NaNo. *kicks it.*
