@Dewines@toot.wales Having copy/proofread innumerable scientific papers for publication in esteemed organs at a previous place of employment, the word count limit was a convenient excuse for chopping out whole swathes of waffle 😈

@StriderLongshanks@mountains.social That's a very good argument for a word count. 🙂 The other times I've had to be careful about word count was when I was either a student or a tutor, doing or marking assignments. In that case the word count was an indication as to how much depth you were supposed to go into.
