A literal whole-word count of the same phrase list the Prepublish browser extension uses, so a phrase inside another word is not counted and a phrase used in its ordinary sense still is. It is a count and not a judgement.
What this transcript is
Every word below is the caption track YouTube publishes for this video, pulled from the video itself and reproduced unchanged. It is not Prepublish's writing, not a summary, and not a re-transcription: it is the video's own published captions. English captions, published by the channel, in the video’s original language. Source: the video on YouTube. A channel that would rather this page did not exist can ask for its removal through the contact page, and it is removed.
