    It might be a phrase, or a sequence of words, but not a word.
    And how many words is it? Does the hyphenated eighty-four count as one?

    No.

    Now granted it is a site related to maths but outside the western world, are programmers (many of them school kids) going to know this kind of thing for certain?

    Anyone else seen any good questions to prove you're a human?
    They probably all know it _outside_ the Western world, because their education system is better than ours.

    Anyway, if in doubt surely all one need to is look up dot product on Wikipedia.
