Common errors

The user expects word or character totals instead of a line total.

Fix: Use a word or character counter if line count is not the real metric needed.

Blank lines affect the total unexpectedly.

Fix: Check whether empty lines are included before relying on the result.

Extra trailing line breaks make the count look higher.

Fix: Trim the text or review the input for accidental empty lines.
