The counting rule for Nambu-Goldstone modes is discussed using Mori's
projection operator method in nonrelativistic systems at zero and finite
temperatures. We show that the number of Nambu-Goldstone modes is equal to the
number of broken charges, Q_a, minus half the rank of the expectation value of
[Q_a,Q_b].Comment: 5 pages, no figures; typos corrected; some discussion added and
