Talk:char

Hello dear native English-speakers ansd collaborators,

This is a question :

I've found an occurence of the word "char" on this page : http://plagiarisma.net/

I quote : "Total 594 chars, 103 words, 0 unique sentences, 0% originality"

What does it mean ? Is it a new use of the word or is it an abbreviation ? thanks a lot Hugoline veret (talk) 08:28, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
