::What I mean is, Nigel, that what constitutes a word for the purposes of this task, needs to be defined. Without such a definition, any definition of a word becomes suspect. It is best that the tasks definition of a word is succinct and defined in such a way as to be reproducible in many languages. "Whatever wordprocessor X defines as a word in its word count" doesn't seem like a good enough description ''for the purposes of a task''. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 15:02, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
