Not to be pedantic but does this mean "1,000 words or fewer," "at least 1,000 words," or "exactly 1,000 words?"
I'm asking because with school assignments the number is usually a lower bound, but with writing contests it's often an upper bound (sometimes even a fuzzy limit).
[2] Write 1,000 words about it by August 31st, 2026.
this is 1 of the two constraints. you may have to rework sentences. the skills exercised are these efforts
My personal instinct is to interpret it as a minimum of 1,000 words -- but it remains ambiguous.
EDIT: After reading the site's content I think they may be targeting _precisely_ 1,000 words.
But no, no exact definition of what they mean for "1000 words" - wether if it's minimum 1000 words or what, or how are they counting those 1000 words - throwing everything to a Word doc? a parsing script? Will they count things like an "I" or an "a" as a whole word?
I'm thinking about giving this a try, though, but not being pretty clear about that rule seems quite odd.
