"word" as in 'word count'
Posted by Abe on November 17, 2004
I read yesterday that the average reported was permitted a maximum of about "1000 words".
Recently I read that people who visit forums read about "73 words" before clicking next or page down.
Are "-", "I", "73" words? Is "St. Louis" one word or two?
(I once worked on a bugfix where any eight bits was a "word".)
How would you count words?
