No, you're misreading him (or I'm misreading you). Words and text items are
totally unrelated -- it doesn't matter what text item delimiters is set to,
the definition of what is a word is set elsewhere. Text item delimiters set
the delimiters for *text items", not words.
If you ask for *words*, runs of spaces should be treated as a single word
delimiter. If you ask for *text items*, and the text item delimiter is set
to a single space, then you shouldn't get the same result.

it not to.
No you didn't -- you have no control over word delimiters (other than
changing languages).
