Damn I can be verbose, ok, so does anybody know if the character count limit on a debate is with or without spaces?

I think itnis with spaces. If I have a character count of 10k on a word document it seems to come up around 200 more characters sometimes more and I have to start chopping off words. It forces me to do a second draft so isn't too bad of a thing

It’s sadly with spaces.

There’s been a few times when I’m just over the limit, and fix it by deleting spaces added to the extra line breaks.

10,000 is pretty generous should I say.

4,000 is the character count for a personal statement for British colleges. That is also roughly the length of an American college application personal statement essay.

I think we generally overlook how much we actually yap. At least I do. I am guilty of it and I am not ashamed of it yet.

People on this site go through characters like George R. R. Martin.
