that term comes from a professor that thinks 12 words are 25 percent 100 words are 50 percent and 300 words equal 75 percent. either he is bad at math or i am.

Perhaps included would be several pronouns and some key "be" verbs and action verbs; plus, a couple nouns. However, only 12 words would sure be a scant number.
