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.

I use paraphrasing tools constantly to help smooth out my clumsy research notes, but lately, university detectors have been flagging almost everything as machine-written, even after massive editing. It’s been incredibly stressful trying to figure out which paragraphs are going to trigger an alert on the professor's screen. Finding a reliable gptzero AI detector tool completely changed my routine. Now I can test my rewritten paragraphs in seconds and see exactly how they look to automated filters before I risk turning them in.

Character count would be subjective.

Yes,  you might find Matthews smooth and clumsy tool, flagging and massive as he warns, and therefore incredibly stressful...So as he suggests, you would perhaps prefer a reliable tool and a change to a completely reliable routine.
