What are you talking about? Counting characters is easy, just call the length of the string after a trim. Words are a little more complicated, but given the discussion so far it should be very easy; the complexity with words being in the rules of what counts as a word.

I believe the only loose end remaining is how many words does something like "can't" count as, given the apostrophe is merely there to mark a missing salable.
