Is this a better answer?

@jpmens @kevin
I think this is the most correct answer.

@FritzAdalis @jpmens There was a time when highly-skilled and well-compensated engineers felt shame for producing things of poor quality.

"Wait, this isn't a math problem! In standard English, if you are strictly asking how many times the letter "a" appears in the exact string "100 watermelons", the answer is 3."

@FritzAdalis yes, your answer is better -- it has MOAR 'a's!!

$ python3 -q
>>> "w" + ("a"*403) + "termelons"

because darn if I'm not too lazy to count out 403 "a"s by hand πŸ˜†

@gumnos
Yeah, was gonna say I'm not counting those.

@FritzAdalis

>>> _.count("a")
403

which seems to slightly diverge from

>>> "100 watermelons".count("a")
1
