You know what makes me nuts? My agent, and a whole lot of agents out there now, don't give a fig about SMF word count or page count. They want all counts given in MSWord. Some of them even have that in their guidelines now. I know friends whose editors wanted their books turned in using MSWord count as well.
My agent told me to forget counting in SMF. She doesn't want to see it or hear it. Yet it seems that is still how some publishers count. I know that's how you count when type setting and designing a book.
Someone, somewhere, needs to make a decision. I like standards and consistency.
