Hello All, As a linguist, I can say that not counting words that are shorter is an absolute NO-GO for an accurate word count and thereby character count! See below, for a non representative proof !

ConTeXt has an option to count the words (you find the result in <jobname>.words) in a document but words words shorter than four letters aren’t taken into account. word length under 4 characters : 10 word length =< 4 chars : 20
here you are missing a third of the words! That is 30% regards Keith
