Please don't top post, it hurts readability a lot.

Katie, if you're still reading this, see below for my answer.

By manually counting the letters in the string (including spaces), and 
getting 17, I expect that Katie wants to know the length of the string.

I think she's seen this:

>>> s = 'Count this String'
>>> s.count('n')
2

but not this:

>>> len(s)
17
