You could also use regular expressions. It can locate word

reasonable accuracy.
Google 'regex word list word boundary' or 'regex word list'
This can also get quite complex. For example:
* periods aren't accurate word boundaries
* commas aren't accurate word boundaries
* hyphens might be accurate word boundaries
You might have to maintain a dictionary/corpus against which to
compare for
validity.

Interesting report. I'll have to look into this more deeply, as I'm
not familiar with RegEx. But seeing that it is built into RB and
looks rather powerful, it might serve my purposes....if I can warp
my mind around it [transposition fully intended ;.-) ]
Which brings up a question....
WHERE CAN I GET A GOOD REFERENCE, w/examples, TO TEACH MYSELF ABOUT
REGEX?
