I don't feel like telling what I } think about vi or emacs, but when documentation say 'word' I assume } 'entire word', not 'from cursor position to...' ;)) What you're missing is that the documentation nearly always is expressed in terms of character positions, not semantic buffer contents. Thus the suffix -word in a command name means the prefix (delete, forward, upcase, etc.) is applied across the range of characters from the cursor position to the next character that represents a word boundary; not to the semantic entity that you think of as "a word".
