GPT-4o-mini consistently gives me this:
> How many times does the letter “r” appear in the word “strawberry”?
> The letter "r" appears 2 times in the word "strawberry."
But also:
> How many occurrences of the letter “r” appear in the word “strawberry”?
> The word "strawberry" contains three occurrences of the letter "r."
