do they seriously count every word in a printed essay?

::While finishing her personal essay, Francesca checks the word count::

Word Count: 720!

Fran: Crap! It's gotta be less than 700!

::Francesca rereads and decides to rephrase her intro paragraph. She then gets rid of excess words throughout. Satisfied, she checks word count::

Word Count: 734!!

Fran: SACK OF SHIT.

:: Francesca lights Word on fire::

They don't count it that much. 20-30 words is like 2 sentences, trust me they won't notice. XD
