Sorry, I was extremely drunk when I asked my initial question. I should have been more specific. I only want it to count characters that appear in the alphabet. Please update it to ignore special characters. Also, I'd appreciate it if you used a more consistent coding style. For example, having local variables with a mixture of lower_snake_case and PascalCase drives me insane. There are multiple stylistic consistency issues in your names and comments. Please fix all of them.
