I'm trying to upload shared work. My word document says it is 2300 words but the site is not allowing me to upload stating it is more than 3000 words.

Hi, Toni!
It was a joke. "Reading between the lines" means reading (understanding... or THINKING that you understand) more than the writer has actually written.
e.g. John and Joe are on a desert island with apparently nothing to eat. Two weeks later, a ship arrives and there is no sign of John, but Joe looks well-fed. End of story.
But, reading between the lines, we ASSUME that Joe has eaten John, although the writer didn't actually say so.
(And there are certainly other possibilities, like a storm carrying John off and washing a crate of food onto the island. Or a shark eating John and Joe catching fish to eat.)
My joke was that Admin "read" 700 words more into your shared work that you hadn't actually written.
On a more practical level, to be on the safe side, you should send a private message to Admin. It seems that they don't always read the subject lines of Q&As, but they do read (and reply to) direct messages.
I'm sorry Jimmy. I don't what you mean.
This is what is known as "reading between the lines".
