But that exaxtly is the point. Some examples:
E.g. take a look on a date:
22.11.2004. You can interpret this as on word. You can also say November, twenty second two thousand four or in German Zweiundzwanzigster November Zweitausendundvier (old style) or Zweitausendvier (new style)

or how do we count a printed adress like https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...134000&page=67 in a text. Is it one word or a grouping of xx words?

How do we count short cuts like e.g. in German z.B. and z. B. ( for zum Beispiel)? Is it one word or two?

Or street names like 21th Street. Is it two or three word? Or Frankenallee 71–81?

Is a Title page part of word count? How do I interpret an isbn number 0-1233-11323-44

Or words like 3D-Printer and so on.

If I look to my analyzed books, I can find a lot of things what is interpretable. So what is the point to start?

I converted the original EPUB to a DOCX and a TXT document. The difference between DOCX and TXT comes mainly form the TOC. The TOC is part of the EPUB but not part of a TXT file. Should I include it or not? If not, then the TXT is the nearest count reference (maybe).

Question over question
