Counting Words ( The "Wc" Command )

There are people that love to count beans, myself at the end of the day I love to count the words I have written. <g>
And sure, Linux has just the command for that: "wc"
The "wc" command comes with a few options:
QUOTE
-c, print the byte counts
-m, print the character counts
-l, print the new line counts
-L, print the length of the longest line
-w, print the word counts
When I execute the command on this little bit of text I am typing right now I get:
Words:CODE
$ wc -w test.txt
184 Desktop/text.txt
Lines:CODE
$ wc -l test.txt
50 Desktop/text.txt
Characters:CODE
$ wc -m test.txt
1045 Desktop/text.txt
Longest line:CODE
$ wc -L test.txt
118 Desktop/text.txt
