If this problem exists then it is a problem with the core node module. Does this problem also occur without the FCK Editor disabled?

From the node module ....

// Make sure the body has the minimum number of words.
  // todo use a better word counting algorithm that will work in other languages
  if (isset($node->body) && count(explode(' ', $node->body)) < $type->min_word_count) {
    form_set_error('body', t('The body of your @type is too short. You need at least %words words.', array('%words' => $type->min_word_count, '@type' => $type->name)));
  }


It looks as though there may be a problem with the counting algorithm. 

Shall we resolve this as WONTFIX since even if the problem can be reproduced anf fixed were not going to be making modifications to drupal core. 

Passing this back to you Mary to manage the resolution of this bug.

Best, Paul

if we're not changing how many words are actually required we should try and override the string to reflect

I couldn't reproduce this bug. As soon i submitted a post with exactly 25 words i didn't get the warning message.

Paul,
I was able to reproduce this.Can you please try again with the test data that I have used?

The bug seems to have mutated in its month of existence. I can now submit a project with 25 words if all the words are in the same sentence. But if a user's content is in 3 distinct lines,submit is still unsuccessful.

This happens because we have a WYSIWYG editor that adds tags (e.g. <p>) which messes up the normal word counting alg.

I don't think this is worth spending time to try and fix.  25, 28, only a 3 word difference, most people probably won't even notice.

Paul, if you know of a simple way to fix this, go for it, but it doen't have to be a huge time sink.  I'd rather just mark wontfix

[Paul Booker]

I agree Alex, it's a very small problem something that core know about and are working on so i would say we should mark it as WONTFIX and wait for it to be fixed upstream.
