So yeah, for a holistic "how large is this book?" then word counts may work, but not for anything else.
that is ez to fix.. when you make ref to group of text just cut off some char..

if we dont like refrencing word number we could just start saying look at word 23k to 29k (need a term for this. word count page(wcp), maybe vtral page(vp))


ha look at this book wcp23-29. im on wcp 30 right now.
