You are very correct!

What I mean by "word," and thanks to you I'll be putting that in, is that "differance" is a word in the sense that it's an arrangement of letters. It's a tagline rather than an oppositional element in the schema of language. Differance is the name we have to go on, even though it's not technically a name or a representation or anything like that.

I'm impressed you know so much about Derrida, ardvark!
