Obviously a weird bug...

The point on having word statistics is that if I have to start a
documentation translation which only have 300 strings I could think that
maybe I can finish it in just an afternoon or a weekend, but if next to
the strings there's the word counting which goes to 10k words, obviously
I will not fool myself on thinking that I can do that on a weekend.

Also for professional translations, word counting is the way they get
paid and the way they count how much workload it will be for them.

If you don't want to care about them, just ignore them :)
