Ack! I forgot to account for the tallying issues. Regarding any potential similar tallies in the future: I think the point difference, should there be any, is only 1 point at most (since the difference arose from the fact that the 35-word piece is too short to get a bonus point!) and so, yes, since you've gone with the highest, we'll continue doing that from now on. ♥ I'm sorry for the trouble, and thank you for taking the time to experiment and explain!

Also, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. ♥
