  That is 2 words (or 3 depending how you count the abbreviation). You’d think a dictionary could get that right.

    Neither of those are 1 word. At least hyphen them to pretend they’re one word.

    Fun fact: linguists don’t actually know what defines a “word”

      Linguists struggle to find an exact definition of what a word is because speakers of different languages have different opinions of what a word is, and some languages make the distinction unclear
