It's horrible, really. You need not only to spell it out, but also localize it. How should a non-English user know what "c" (not to mention "cb") is supposed to mean? If space is an issue, I'd suggest to only list "N words" and "N characters" (where the latter means "incl. blanks", as in the LibreOffice status bar). Also remember while localizing that the word order differs in localizations. BTW does the counting use async processes? -- Jürgen
