We presume it is including xxx and "eh" (both circled in red) toward the NDW, and we would like to find a way for kideval to exclude that and only count the words highlighted in yellow (i.e. NDW of 10). In the past, we have tried to tag words like "eh" with an @i to mark them as interjections, but we were unsuccessful in finding a way to get the kideval command to exclude words with tags. </div><div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variant-emoji: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 12pt; line-height: inherit; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br></div><div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variant-emoji: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 12pt; line-height: inherit; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What is the best way for us to tell kideval to not count xxx and eh as words toward the NDW?</div><div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variant-emoji: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 12pt; line-height: inherit; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br></div><div style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variant-emoji: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-size: 12pt; line-height: inherit; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Any help is appreciated.
