      Description

      Hi,

      We're using Moodle Moodle 2.9.1+ (Build: 20150716) and we've noticed that the word count mechanism in Assignments (haven't checked other components with word count) counts words that have a quotation mark inside the word (i.e. shai"sh) as 2 words instead of one.

      In Hewbrew, we use quotation marks for abbreviating phrases. For example. instead of writing thw word school (which is two words in Hebrew) we would normally write a "shortcut" of the two words (i.e.: ביה"ס). I have no idea if other languages have something like that but for Hebrew speakers this is important...

      Thanks,

      Shai
