 * I’d like to get the word count function to be usable on my forms, but even digging
   around in the original add-on plugin files and in changing the showWordCount:
   false to true in the creditor js files isn’t making anything happen.
 * Have you switched off this very useful ability from your iteration of the CKEditor?
 * If so, can you tell me how I can get it work?
 * many thanks
