/* The C Programming Language, 2nd Edition
 *
 * Exercise 1-11: How would you test the word count program? What kinds of
 * input are most likely to uncover bugs if there are any?
 *
 * Answer: New lines (such as those caused by wrapping text) are most likely to
 * introduce erroneous word counts, as well as symbols that are strung together
 * but don't create actual words.
