# Replace "Leave a reply" with comment count

 * How would I replace the “Leave a reply” with the current comment count?
 * I’ve tried adding this to functions.php:
 *     ```
       function comment_reform ($arg) {
       $arg['title_reply'] = __(comments_number( 'No responses', 'One response', '% responses' ));
       return $arg;
       }
       add_filter('comment_form_defaults','comment_reform');
       ```
   
 * However, this does not work. (If it matters, I’m using the Canvas theme).

 * Instead of replacing it, could you remove the “Leave a reply,” and add the comment
   count via a hook? (I know the Canvas theme has a bunch.)
