Tried it twice and got less than 40, the reason being they use one space after a full stop (WRONG!) and American spelling which took ages to track down. Otherwise it would have been about 50ish. Actually highlighting the mistake would be good...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_st...fter_full_stop

"In typewritten texts and other documents printed in fixed-width fonts, there is a convention among lay writers that two spaces are placed after the full stop (along with the other sentence enders: question mark and exclamation mark), as opposed to the single space used after other punctuation symbols. This is sometimes termed "French spacing"."

It goes on to describe how there is debate over which is the best way to use.

Browsers for example treat 2 spaces as 1, but just because text is rendered innacurately doenst make that innacuracy right.

I learned to type using the conventional spacing on fixed width word processors and its how I still do it (even though I dont care enough to touch type).
