Agree completely, and add a note to the OP that the sort function has an extremely important side effect of removing repeated words. Another reason to keep it, if that was meant seriously. Why not trivially s/lexical/ASCII/ on the affected line in the manual? Lexical may be technically correct but ASCII is more precise.
