Putting this out there for people who use the built in word counter for their media mostly:
The Word Count at the bottom right of the text box is inaccurate as it counts formatting as additional words. Now this isn't too much of an issue when grading media when there's a little formatting. But when you start reaching into the big meaty articles you start seeing a 200+ word discrepancy between what the user put down as the word count and the actual word count.
Below are some examples of what I'm talking about.

Use a word counter on another website or the one in Microsoft Word (or whatever other tool you have that counts words) BEFORE adding formatting.
Cheers!
