Working on an article for a guest blog post that I was asked to submit, I had just about completed a first draft. Thinking to check my word count, I called up the word count tool in Microsoft Word. What I saw rather surprised me.

Microsoft Word word count

The default language was set to UK English. So, why did the good people at Microsoft think to advise me of the non-Koreans words? Why would I want to know the number of Asian characters in Korean words?

    Yeah, with you there. Was anyone else able to replicate the same issue? My computer showed that. Did yours?

    No. My iMac doesn’t run Word. But I guess I could dust off the laptop and see what happens…

    My computer DOES NOT have a Korean word count, or any other foreign word tally in MS Word.
