And people also thought cigarettes and alcohol was good for you. That doesn't mean they are. It's not just a generational difference in behavior, it's consumption of a substance.

Sure you can live a full life doing things that are unhealthy. That doesn't make them ultimately "good" for you

If that's what you're asking why wouldn't you ask about 2-letter words with 5 syllables?

Australia is weird af as well. Eastern seaboard is treated as one basin which is bizarre

Interesting definition of basin that incorporates almost the entire eastern seaboard of Australia but only extends inland at most a few hundred kilometres.

Must be 30 major rivers that independently reach the ocean across this expanse let alone hundreds of smaller ones

Arabic numerals are not words. Numerals are. Maybe not Roman ones but "two" is! But that doesn't help with the one letter words.

The "A" and "I" were in reference to the determiner "a" and the pronoun "i".

Is it counting things like "c" as an abbreviation for century?

EDIT: I've just realised this is OC and how you built the dataset so I get it now. I think!
