Disagree. That's not a method for ordinary mortals. Common users -- people who
want to type a letter, print it, and enjoy lunch without learning computer
arcana -- don't know about regex. If they find their way to it, it's
intimidating to most people and complicated. And most people think of sentence
or paragraph length in terms of numbers of words, not letters, and don't know
that in ordinary English they should multiply a word count by 7 (including
spaces etc.), and many people don't use ordinary English, like scholars and
maybe playwrights.
I'm geeky, so I saw that your solution should work and is logical. (Regex
failed on my computer but it used to work, so I assume there's a glitch not
relevant to this report.)
A grammar or style checker in a menu would be a lot friendlier. It can use
regex behind the scenes, but ordinary users should not have to use regex except
as a last resort, and that's available already. Friendliness in the software
will expand LO's acceptance and help in competing against Microsoft Office.
