counting not correct yet

that helps a lot
but when I run it on a big file, it repeats the word
like if I have the words
bad, bad. bad: bad,
it will show
2 bad,
1 bad.
1 bad:
I only want to count the word itself so I have to delete punctuation to get it right I guess
by the way what is /12 stand for???
