being, somewhat of an alternative writer, a baroque spieler even, i'm of a mind to use such punc marks as ….. however i feel that theres a problemo here since this ….. actually constitutes a word in terms of the count. as a professional counter, of nutz & boltz, in my daytime job, my immediate inclination would be to ignore this and count simply the wordz. however, when i let the machine loose on this to rip out the total it would appear to include them within the days count. so. there you go. whats a poor boy to do.
