Actually, it's the other way round: the WORDCHARS parameter specifies which 
characters (in addition to alphanumeric characters) are considered part of 
words. It contains several characters that make sense by default, so I think 
your best course of action would be to just exclude slashes:

WORDCHARS=${WORDCHARS//\/}
