Well, the question you wrote above is 133 characters without spaces, and 159 with. Most online applications count a space as a character, so 1500 characters is roughly 10 X as long as the question you posted. If you type in MS word and go to tools / word count it will tell you exactly how long (characters with and without spaces, and how many words, etc) are in your text. In contrast, this answer that I’m posting is 408 characters (without counting spaces) and 500 with spaces. Hope this helps.
