Right, but that won't update your wordcount as a fraction of 50K, with the percentage next to it automatically... which is why I think the function could be used as bait to scrape data. The NaNoWriMo forums being what they are, exploitation of their userbase would be consistent with the level of pozz present.

Yup. And every other word processor...and you could get word counter addons even before it was built in.
