    Description

      I searched for word count

      http://moodle.org/bugs/query.php?title=&title_type=like&description=word+count&description_type=like&emailsearch1=email&email1=&emailtype1=like&emailfield1%5B%5D=owner&projects=&versions=&components=&op=doquery&order=severity.sort_order&sort=asc&savedqueryname=

      Please show word count on forum posts. It's very useful in gettng reluctant writers to meet minimum writing/thinking goals.

      It's an easy javascript and would be of huge benefit to high school Moodlers, imho.
