 The "Word count" shown below the post editor counts a ellipsis "…" as a
 word at the moment. As a ellipsis is more punctation than a word, it
 should be excluded from the "Word count".

 Steps to reproduce:
 * Add a new post
 * Add a ellipsis (Mac: Alt + .) "…"
 * See "Word count"

 I think this is a good first bug since the fix should be relatively easy.
 Extend the "clean" regular expression with ellipsis match in

 count.js#L8.
