Now wouldn't that be 5 words in reality?  After all, "that's" is actually a contraction for that is.... So the sentence actually reads "Well that is all folks" when you break it down from ye old English class days in school, it would be considered 5 words, not 4.  At least it did in my High School English class days.  Just sayin'........

 

There is always one...

I went and looked up if contractions are counted as one word or two words.   And that seems to be an ongoing debate, many say it is TWO words, others say it is ONE word.   So if even the experts can't agree on this, then who can?   I was going by what the English teacher taught us, and he always said they were 2 words, but sure is a lot of debate on that and no one can agree, even the experts if it is actually two words or one, so I say in this respect it can go EITHER way!    Count 'em as you will I suppose.
