Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
It is already wikified
(https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Ligatures#Replacements).
I wonder whether \replaceword could be extended to replace multiple
words and also to remove them.
\starttext
\replaceword[whatever][this or][no]
\replaceword[whatever][that][]
\startlines
it is this or that
{\setreplacements[whatever]it is this or that}
{\setreplacements[whatever]it is this or that}
it is this or that
\stoplines
\stoptext
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
