I'd assume that a word count is supposed to count words ("word" as in :h

Thanks, Andy. I'm assuming given the above that you cooked that script up 
special order. If so, I appreciate that. Nevertheless, a couple people on 
vim_mac diagnosed the problem as a filetype problem. Changing it from DOS to 
unix fixed. Since that was so simple, and since I like what the plugin does -- 
count two words not separated by a space as two words -- I decided to stick 
with it.

Just for reference, this following command will return a list of matches too (the regex can probably be improved):

:%s/\<.\{-}\>//gn | set nohlsearch

... a "search and replace" command that only counts all matches (and does no replacing). Of course, it clobbers your search register, etc, so it's probably not the solution you wanted.

I just thought you might want to know about :%s/...//gn
