I think the rationale is that there is no single character to delimit
words, but rather many possibilities.
[ space tab space.space.tab.space space.cr.space.cr.cr ]
In the docs
Comments:
A word is delimited by one or more spaces, tabs, or returns, or
enclosed by double quotes. A single word can contain multiple
characters and multiple items, but not multiple lines.
so using
put empty into myText
put "aa" into word 1 of myText
put "bb" into word 2 of myText
answer myText
does not really define exactly which separation character or
characters to use.
There is no wordDelimiter.
Try this riddle
on testt
put "thisisa" & cr & "wordOnLine1" into wordz
put word 1 of wordz
set the lineDelimiter to Z
put cr & cr after msg
put word 1 of wordz after msg
put cr & cr after msg
put "thisisaZtimeforallofus" into wordz
put word 1 of wordz after msg
put cr & cr after msg
put line 1 of wordz after msg
end testt
Conclusion is that you can change the lineDelimiter to 'Z' and get a
different line chunk than cr,
but this does not change the definition of a word when it comes to a cr.
Thus a cr IS always a word separator, but a cr CAN BE a line delimiter.
Hope this helps.

If I do
put empty into myText
put "aa" into item 1 of myText
put "bb" into item 2 of myText
answer myText
I get (as expected)
"aa,bb"
while, if I do
put empty into myText
put "aa" into word 1 of myText
put "bb" into word 2 of myText
answer myText
I get
"aabb"
(while I would expect "aa bb").
?
this is revStudio 3.5 gm-2 (and maybe my brains are still in HC)
I've confirmed this. Maybe not rational, perfectly or otherwise. ;-)
But, as
a simple work around, you can:
set itemdel to space
put "aa" into item 1 of myText
put "bb" into item 2 of myText
And you will get "aa bb"
Then put word 1 of myText into myWord will give you "aa"
