You guys, this isn't funny. NaNo also discriminates against people who use the comma as a decimal separator by not just accepting anything over 50 words as a winning entry. In other words, my probably-75-word entry about penguin engineers is out, just because their definition of "50,000" is so arbitrary and restrictive. They're oppressing the penguins and the pandas! Is there no cute animal safe from their oppressive oppressiveness?
