Counting words Anything separated by spaces is considered a word, except a phone number, time of day (8am-5pm), or date (3/1/98, March 1st), which are counted as one word, as are building dimensions (20x30x40). Other hyphenated or slash-marked combinations (client-server, member/associate) are counted as separate words. An address, including PO box or route numbers, counts as two words; city, state, and zip are one word each.
