It Haunts Me
My math was never any good
Random drabble word prosy
Struggling with my math skills, I embarked on the prosy task of refining content to precisely 100 words. My initial count erred at 103, prompting the excision of three words before submission. To my chagrin, the word counter now displays a meager 97 words, haunting my editing endeavor.
The question persists: did my hasty deletions lead to this shortfall? This numerical conundrum serves as a stark reminder of the intricacies involved in the art of precise editing.
I am one of the few who mess up spellcheck. Now I mess up math too. Did I change reality?
Feedback is invaluable!
