I suspect the programs being used to do the counts are handling accents
(which are punctuation marks, and therefore word delimiters, in English)
in different ways. If only spaces and LF and/or RET characters are
counted as word delimiters, the results are different than if / \ etc.
are read as punctuation rather than accents.
