Incorrect word count via script
At some point (I think v27) Illustrator has changed its word counting/division algorithm.
So, where previously the results were sensible:
"This.Was.Four.Words" — word count: 4
"This.Is.3.Words" — word count: 4
"I.WF05f.07.AB.000" — word count: 5
"I.WF05f.AB.07.000" — word count: 5
In version 27.4 the results are now confused:
"This.Was.Four.Words" — word count: 1
"This.Is.3.Words" — word count: 3
"I.WF05f.07.AB.000" — word count: 4
"I.WF05f.AB.07.000" — word count: 2
For a discussion on the topic, and a testing script, see this thread.
Note: maybe this bug was introduced while fixing this bug.

Script used to get results.
