How did I get in my head that the book’s total word count is 27,000?  In trying to replicate everything, I found I made this error a few times.  Grievous error.  There are just over 96,000 words in The Hobbit.  Good thing I caught it now!

Update 2015.06.20: I believe I have corrected all the countings and mathings up to this point.  Word Fans, please let me know if you see an error!
