Hi Sean,
Your subject line says "word printing issue", but the body of your email
says nothing about an issue printing words.
Have you tried print(word)?
Further comments and questions below.

I've taken the liberty of correcting some obviouis typos in the data
structure.

Better than what? How are you doing it now?
Why don't you want to use a module?

I'm struggling to understand what you mean. I don't understand what the
word combinations part has to do with the problem.
If all you want to do is count each word, you could try this:
from collections import Counter
text = "Hello Python team"
c = Counter(text.split())
print(c)
which will print something like:
Counter({'team': 1, 'Python': 1, 'Hello': 1})
(the order of the counts may be different).

Either your expectations are wrong, and the totals are correct, or your
expectations are correct, and the code counting them is wrong.
Without knowing either your expectations or the code counting the
totals, I cannot guess which is the case.

Without knowing what you are doing, it is hard to suggest improvements.

What can I do to make it better? Thanks in advance."
