Case Converter vs office-suite built-in counts
Office suites count differently from each other. Most of the time the disagreement is invisible (a one-or-two-word gap). When it matters, Case Converter matches the public specification (Unicode word segmentation rules), which is what most academic and editorial guidelines actually demand.
Verify the answer that matters — if the assignment specifies "the count from [your editor]," use that editor. If it doesn't specify, Case Converter gives you the standards-compliant number.
