[Rick Faircloth]

Is it as simple to do a letter count?

or if you really do want it as a plugin

Plugin:
(function($){
   $.fn.stringCount = function() {
      
        var string = this.text();
        var count = string.split(" ");
        var result = count.length;
       
        return result
   }
})(jQuery);

Use:
$(function(){
    alert( $("span.string").stringCount() );
});
